"UFOs are the Fifth Horseman of the Apocalypse "

— Dr Lincoln La Paz

"Supplemental Notes" consist ofmaterial under

consideration for any revision of the original

UFO history volume covering this time period

Notes on sources*

Most ofthe information that makes this supplement possible came from Robert Gnbble,

Murray Bott. George Fawcett, Les Treece-Sinclair, Barry Greenwood, Jan Aldrich, Capt.

William Nash, the CUFOS archives in Chicago, the private papers of the late Dr JamesMcDonald, and APRO records.

The NICAP files at the CUFOS archives contain valuable translations ofa number of Frenchnewspaper clippings by a person only identified as "AMD."

Many other French news clippings, plus a few Italian, are available but they have not beentranslated into English, nonetheless some have been reproduced in this supplement for the

record. The sources for most ofthe foreign language news clippings not on file at CUFOSwere Dominique Weinstein and Jean Sider t

Good sources for October European and Middle East items, as for previous months, are

Australian and New Zealand papers Nearly all come from Murray Bott's files Also, as

before, a surprising number ofUFO stories appeared in the English language Cairo, Egypt,

Egyptian Gazette, a gold mine discovered by Jan Aldrich

The first go-around on this time period did not make use of every UFO report in Aime

Michel's book, The Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery. It was hoped other

sources would provide the same information. Unfortunately that hope was not realized

Michel's book is almost 50 years old (published in 1958) and new editions seem unlikelysince the body ofthe text is built around Michel's "Straight-Line" theory that is out of

favor among mainstream UFOlogists, therefore Michel's work has been culled for anymaterial omitted earlier

Before Dr. Olaves Fontes hooked up Coral Lorenzen and APRO, the Brazilian UFO investigator worked with Robert Gribble of Seattle, Washington, who directed the group

called Civilian Flying Saucer Intelligence The Seattle organization published the Flying

Saucer Review (no relation to England's publication ofthe same name) Some ofFontes'

late October 1954 writings that appeared in the CFSI publication, have never appeared inAPRO sources. As a citizen of Brazil, Fontes' primary language was Portuguese but his

English wasn't too bad, nonetheless Fontes' writings require minor editing (Fontes, forexample, would write "an object on the sky" instead of"in the sky."). Gnbble published

a clean-up version ofFontes which makes for a better read but, according to rule I havechosen to follow, ifa primary source is available, it will be used

Special note:

A glaring error was the placement ofa Holy Land UFO clipping on page three ofthe

1953, January-February, Supplement. The clipping belongs in the October 1954 time

period The clipping service made the annoying decision to print dates in a purple ink

that fades over time, making numbers hard to read

Octobers/November? 1954 Lubbock, Texas, (about 9:15 pm.)

Weather observer sees some "Lubbock Lights."

In a letter to APRO it says-

"This is, at least, a sketchy recollection ofmy own personal sighing ofUFOs back

in October/November 1954. I do not recall the date nor the exact month, the year could

possibly be 1953 but I'm fairly certain it was 1954 I was then a Weather Observer at

Reese Air Force Base, Lubbock, Texas. This base is (was) located approximately 15

miles west ofLubbock, and 20 miles east ofLevelland, Texas. These observations werewitnessed by other Weather Observers and though no higher military authority acted up

on them they were recorded, by the Weather Observer on duty, in the column reserved

for remarks that are not disseminated over teletype, on the official record (The WBAN10A)

"Recollection.

"Time, about 9.15 p.m on a Sunday evening in October/November 1954 Word

came to me that the PIBAL (Winds Aloft) Observer was witnessing 'Flying Saucer

formations' from the observation platform atop the one-story Operations Building onthe Reese AFB flight-line. As I recall, there were three of us who kept with it for twohours, but there probably were more among us for a shorter time. Sergeant Robert Gift,Airman Jerome H Carney and myself were the three.

"The first sighting for me occurred at approximately 9.45 p m. A V-formation ofapproximately ten elliptical lights (not unlike blue-white reciprocating engine exhaust

flames), each the size oVA the diameter ofa dime (held at arms length), the formationbeing as wide as V% the long edge ofa dollar bill and the angle ofthe formation being120 degrees to 130 degrees. These dimensions apply when the formation was closestIn three seconds time the Mights,' keeping formation, traveled a slightly curved arcacross the star studded sky, beginning 20 degrees above the horizon at an azimuth ofabout 320 degrees reaching a zenith of20 degrees off the vertical and at azimuth 220degrees and then being lost from sight at 20 degrees above the horizon at 160 degreesazimuth There was no sound. Their swiftness and silence convinced me they wereneither birds nor aircraft No reasonable estimate of altitude was possible, even for experienced viewers such as ourselves.

"Another sighting, as I recall, occurring with in half-an-hour ofthe last, was quitesimilar with these exceptions. This V-formation came from the west, 280 degrees. Within one second one single 'light' broke off and curved to the north, disappearing at a relatively high vertical angle, 45 degrees, at 310 degrees azimuth. Holding our prime attention, the full formation veered sharply to the south as it reached our zenith (two secondsafter sighting) and was lost from view in about the same area of sky as the 9*45 sightingAll this happened within four seconds.

"Two or three more formation sightings were witnessed by me on this night; eachcontaining no less than five nor more than twelve Mights.' A smaller number of solo

lights' were observed as well, some making abrupt changes in direction 'Light* activitywaned after 11 -30 p.m. and thereafter we each drifted away, with the exception, ofcourseofthose on duty

"Ofthose that saw these strange things remarks ranged from "They are flights ofbirds reflecting the flight-line lights,' to 'They must be the Lubbock Lights.' (I never

heard ofLubbock Lights until they were mentioned that evening) However the most

discouraging remark was made by the Airdrome Officer. He said, after we had report

ed these things to him, 'What do you expect me to do?' At least the sightings were in

dicated on the weather record."

The incredible European "saucer landing phenomenon."

Were the "saucer landing" reports being provided by people ofprobity, or as the French say

persons ofdigne defot ('worthy of being believed ')?

1? October. 9Chambery, France, (no time)

This incident was mentioned briefly on page four ofthe history monograph UFOs A History1954, October, page 4. Here is some additional detail: "Dr M. Martinet, of Chambery, a formerartillery observer, backed up by 15 witnesses, said he saw a dark gray mass hovering over

mountains about 6,000 feet up. When it lost height it appeared 'in the shape ofa plate, bottom-side up '" (xx.)

Circle ofvegetation crushed.

According to our source. "A Valance woman said she saw a 'flying saucer' making a whistlingnoise in a field She rushed to find witnesses, but the 'saucer' had disappeared when they returned, leaving a circle ofcrops 9 feet across broken down as if something had landed there " (xx.)

"M. Romain and M. Renfort.. .were standing on their doorstep when their atten

tion was attracted to a luminous object, flying through the sky toward the southeast. It

was elliptical in shape, and it shifted in fantastic fashion around a point apparently sit

uated between the two villages of Vergaville and Biderstroff. At one moment the ob

ject was motionless, at the next it descended or rose, at another it traversed a brief span

at dizzying speed. At the distance estimated (subjectively) by the witnesses, the object

appeared to be at least several yards in diameter Furthermore, the witnesses believed

they heard the sound ofa motor, so that at first one might have thought the object a

helicopter. It must, however, be pointed out that with Bassing situated between two

national highways in a close network ofroads, and with the object sufficiently far off,

the attribution of sound to the object is subject to the same caution as the observer's

estimate of its actual distance from them

"The object disappeared in a few minutes, and that was all for that night." (xx)

New York, N.Y., 1958. plO3.

2 October. Dieuze, France (8*00 p.m.)

Repeat show

Michel writes

"The following day, Saturday October 2, the same show started over again above

the same region. But this time it was observed by several villages and for two consec

utive hours. The first witness was M. Rothfiiss, ofDieuze, who sighted the object at 8

p.m. For an entire hour he was able to observe its complicated maneuvers: ascensions,

sharp descents, with slow or rapid changes ofposition, all in a southeasterly direction,

towartd Maizieres-les-Vic. But this time these maneuvers were accompanied by lumin

ous phenomena and the emission of light of many colors." (xx)

(xx.) Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery pp. 104-105

2 October Bassing and Blanche-Eglise, France. (9.00 -10:00 p.m.)

Michel writes*

"At 9 p.m. the Dieuze witnesses lost sight ofthe object. But at the same momenttwo villages on the opposite sides ofDieuze began to perceive it: Bassing (already visitedthe night before) and Blanche-Eglise, three miles southwest ofDieuze. The same maneuver was reported by both villages, where it was followed for one whole hour. Then, at10 00 p m., the object once more disappeared." (xx.)

(xx) Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, p. 180.

Dating of French reports

Aime Michel shares his experience:

"The only liberty that I have taken with the newspaper accounts is that of deter

mining all dates exactly, adding them to the newspaper reports if they were missing, or

changing the date given in the paper if it was wrong Only the Pansien Libere, Libera

tion, La Croix, and the Bourgogne Republicain generally give exact dates. The small

provincial papers have always been more scrupulous than the big Paris dailies in this

respect." (xx)

(xx ) Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, p. 111.

2 October. Les Rousses, France, (about 3*45 p.m.)

School teacher, kids, see "classic cloud cigar."

According to Aime Michel:

"The village ofLes Rousses is situated on the Swiss frontier, not far from Lake

Geneva. At about 3:45 p.m, twenty-three school children were outdoors, supervised

by their teacher, Mme. Jaillet, when they saw in the sky above Mount Noirmont, in

the southeast, an elongated object in the shape of a short white trail or train. At first

it was barely perceptible, because of its height and its distance. However, it approach

ed quite rapidly, and some minutes later the phenomenon as it was described corres

ponded exactly to the classic 'huge cloud cigar ' As at St-Prouant, the witnesses saw

the object pass from the horizontal position (when moving laterally) to the vertical

position (when motionless) At one stage, they perceived very clearly for several se

conds a gleaming yellow disk which slipped out ofthe cigar, only to hide itself again

shortly. Then the cloud—the 'train,' said the witnesses—resumed its horizontal position at the same time as its motion, and disappeared at a lively speed in the direction

ofDole, that is, toward the northwest. The sighting lasted four or five minutes." (xx)

2? October. 30 miles east of Paris, France, (no time)

According to our source, a sailor named Bernard Coujon viewed an object that landed near a

road at a location about 30 miles from Paris. The thing came down about 150 yards away and hesuffered from a'prickly' sensation as the object stood still for a moment. After that, the objecttook off at high speed. No sound was heard and no trail was left behind it. Checking the site ofthe landing, holes four inches deep were found apparently from the landing gear (xx.)

Additional data on the official French investigation mentioned on page 4 ofthe monograph

UFOs A History 1954 October

The London, England, Sunday Dispatch, noted the excitement across the channel and said it

was M. Jean Nocher, a French M P., who had asked the French government to set up a Com

mission to study the "invasion." The Dispatch informed its readers French authorities were

"disturbed" by both the variety and strangeness ofthe sightings (xx.)

In fact, it is claimed Charles de Gaulle had taken note ofevents and was especially concerned

about the sighting of an unexplained object in the sky over Tananarive, Madagascar, (xx.)

3 October. Near Saint Amand-les-Eaux, France. (12*15 am)

Large heads, luminous outfits.

Our source states

"About 15 minutes after midnight, a metallurgy worker, Marcel Senechal, was

riding his bicycle on a canal towpath when he heard voices; in a nearby meadow he

saw a spherical object some three meters in diameter near which were two beings,

one meter tall, who were talking to one another. Their heads were very large and

their outfits luminous. The witness fled. Next morning he reported it to the gen

darmes who were unable to find any traces when they returned to the site." (xx)

3 October. Lusens, Austria, (about 5:00 p.m.)

Official advisor for police affairs sees "saucer "

UFO researcher E. Berger found this gendarmerie report.

"Sunday, October 3,1954, at about 1600. .Dr. Christoph Spiegelfeld, 30, saw with

his bare eye through binoculars from Lusens in Sellrain, (a valley leading into Stubaier

Alps—EB) a flying body over Lusener Ferner (glacier—EB). It remained in the same

position for 20 minutes then moved westward and disappeared behind Mt. Ferner Kogel

(3299m—EB) The body was a round, aluminum-silvery shining discs. Dr Spiegelfeld

is official advisor for police affairs at the Schwaz district authority. His credibility is be

yond doubt

"20 years later, Dr. Spiegelfeld added the following details by filling in our question

naire

" 'Observation by chance on a walk. Weather cloudless, Form wind (a warm gusty

alpine wind flowing from the south to north over the ridges—EB) Object first stationary

for 20 minutes, then disappearing to the west within few seconds, great speed. Globular,

metallic like an aircraft. Size ofan aircraft in 10,000m height. Elevation 45 degrees

south . .as if surrounded by strong heat No sound at all. Corroborating witnesses dead.

No field glass . I was pilot in the war It was certainly no balloon as we had strong Fohn

and it would not have kept position for 20 minutes. Also the high speed take-off would

be impossible. The same goes for an aircraft. As it vanished behind a mountain (4 km

ground distance from witness—EB) it had at least 5-10m diameter in case it flew just be

hind it [?sic] Even greater size is possible " (xx.)

"Some minutes closer to 9 p.m., a car carrying several passengers and driven

by the bicycle champion Robert Verdenal, wag traveling along Route N-720 be

tween La Chapelle-Hugon and Grossouvre, in Cher.

"At this spot N-720 follows the Berry Canal and the little Aubois River, and

runs almost exactly north-south. Prolonged southward, it would touch Clermont-Ferrand.

"Without warning, Robert Verdenal and his companions saw coming from

straight ahead ofthem (that is, from the south) a luminous, circular, red object. It

approached fairly rapidly, then suddenly stopped. This immobility lasted several

seconds, after which the object took offagain speedily toward the east, making aright angle with its first trajectory." (xx.)

3 October Bressuire, France, (dawn)

Small figure in a diving suit

Michel wrote

"M. Angelo Girardo, aged 55, residing at Breuil-Chaussee (Deux-Sevres), wasbicycling toward Bressuire, five or six miles away, when, as he neared the grain

silo of the Bressuire Farm Co-operative, he found himselfalmost on top of a disk-shaped machine nearly ten feet in diameter, resting on the ground M. Girardo stop

ped, dumbfounded, and noticed next to the machine a small figure clad in a kind ofdiving suit The little creature made as though to head for M. Girardo, who startedto pedal again, terrified, but watching the mysterious visitor as long as he could. Thelatter turned back toward his machine and stepped in, and the object took off at dizzying speed " (xx)

3 October Epinac-les-Mines and Santenay, France (about 8:45 p m.)

Orange luminous cigar

Michel wrote*

"M. Bernard Legros, aged 25, with his wife, his mother, Mme. Rizet, and his

aunt, Mme. Rety, were in a car leaving Epinac-les-mines, 30 miles southwest ofDijon, on Route D-43. About two miles from Epinac, reaching the highway ofaLa Dree, they stopped at the crossing.

"Then they noticed, coming from the northeast in a starry sky, a ball glowingwith orange light, approaching at moderate speed and losing altitude. The wholefamily got out ofthe car. Other motorists passing by at that moment did the sameThe object kept coming. It soon passed to the east of la Dree in the direction ofSaizy-la-Foret, and continued toward the south. At the moment of its closest proxi-Mity the object could be very clearly distinguished- a kind of luminous cigar, itwas orange in color. In the middle of its upper part could be seen a kind of dark-hued dome

"At the same moment, the same object came into view over Santenay, a village ten miles east of la Dree. It is certain that the object was the same, for the time,the descriptions of form, color, and movement, were the same. The Santenay wit-'nesses simply saw the object toward the west, and those of la Dree toward the east.But the la Dree witnesses are sure the phenomenon was very near, two or threemiles at most, at the moment of its closest proximity. The orange cigar thus passedbetween la Dree and Santenay. Finally, at la Dree as at Santenay, the thing wassaid to have sped of in the direction ofCreusot, toward the southwest. At one placeas at the other the observation lasted about five minutes." (xx.)

3 October. Dieuze area, France. (817 -11:45 p.m.)

Return to the area around Dieuze.

Michel writes*

" Sunday October 3, the mysterious visitor returned to the rendezvous a third

time. And for its final appearance, it put on a full-scale performance over the whole

region, from 8.17 p m. to 11:45 p m., above ten villages

'The first witness was M. Pierre Laplace ofVergaville, northeast ofDieuze.

Several minutes later, witnesses could be counted by the dozen at Vergaville, Ker-

prich, Gueblin, Biderstroff, and Bataville. And the spectacle was everywhere des

cribed as follows.

"A disk, luminous with green light, appeared at 8:17 p.m., seemingly in a

straight line above the manorial forest ofBrides, north of Kerprich It remained

motionless an instant, then suddenly sent out a purplish beam, took off, and in a

matter of seconds was discovered above Gueblin, three or four miles farther east.

The witnesses declared that they had never seen an airplane—not even a jet—move

with such lightning speed.

"Above Gueblin another pause, with changes ofcolor. Three times the object

retraced the route Kerprich-Gueblin-Kerprich in the same fashion, reproducing the

same phenomena. Once again above Gueblin, it does not return to its starting point,

but instead throws out new colors, descends almost to ground level, and at the same

time describes a half-circle in the air. A few hundred yards from Biderstroff, a ham

let lying between Bassing and Vergaville, it disappears behind the trees and seems to

land.

"In that instant, great excitement broke out in the neighboring villages, where

innumerable witnesses had followed the object's gyrations for more than half an hour

*The flying saucer has landed!' someone cried, and people climbed into every avail

able vehicle. Perhaps, at long last, they were going to see a saucer close up! Alas,

the first arrivals were just in time to see 'it' leave the earth rapidly, on a slant, and

disappear behind the trees. It was then 9 p m."

"About three hours later, at 11 45 p.m. it passed over Gueblin again and set

down in the fields, some 30 feet from the road Two residents of this village, M

Gilcher and M Domant, were still out ofdoors, and they ran toward the place of land

ing. When they reached the road they found passersby gazing at the object withoutdaring to approach 4t. Impressed by what they saw, MM. Gilcher and Domant alsocontented themselves with looking at it

"Set down in the field, motionless and silent, was a disk emitting a faint greenlight.

"The villagers contemplated fhis bizarre spectacle long and silently. Then theyreturned to their homes..." (xx.)

3 October. Chereng, France (7:20 p.m.)

Witnesses broke into a run.

Michel wrote.

"The first sighting was reported at Chereng, a country village between Lille

and Tournai, some six miles east of Lille. The weather was clear, the sky cloudless

Chereng was celebrating its 'ducasse,' the day of its patron saint.

"Suddenly, at 7:20, strollers a little to the west ofthe village saw in the sky a

kind of luminous oblong shape, traveling at a low altitude and at full speed When

it reached the height ofthe footbridge spanning the little Marque River, the object

stopped, emitted what seemed to be sparks, and descended.

'The witness broke into a run and headed for the bridge. But at their approach

the object immediately gained altitude and disappeared just as it had arrived. The

whole scene had lasted scarcely more than ten seconds, in total silence. Investigation

also revealed that numerous other persons in the vicinity had witnessed either the ar

rival or the departure." (xx.)

3 October Armentieres, France. (9:20 p.m.)

A "kind ofcupola?"

Michel wrote*

"Rue de Fleury in Armentieres was still very much alive at that hour [9:20 p m.],

when a pedestrian, looking up in the sky, discovered a perfectly motionless luminous

object He showed it to those around him Everyone stopped. Soon the whole neigh

borhood was looking at it, commenting on it, and exchanging impressions The object

remained perfectly still. One man produced a pair of field glasses, examined the dis

tant object at length, then passed the glasses around among others nearby. With the

naked eye one could see a kind ofcupola, 'a mushroom,' some said, while others

called it a 'half-moon.' It was yellow-orange, or golden, in color, with a sort ofelon

gated greenish spot The binoculars confirmed this descrition. Observation from the

ground continued for several minutes, when suddenly the object, till then motionless,

cut loose at lightning speed and disappeared toward the south-southwest in the di

rection ofFleurbaix." (xx.)

3 October. Ablain-St-Nazaire, France. (9:30 p.m.)

"Divide itself in two?"

Michel wrote*

"In the valley, less than a mile from the Lorette plateau, lies the village ofAblain-

St-Nazaire And residents of this village at the same hour saw the same phenomenon

[as at Lievin],

"Gliding gently through the sky, a luminous object came from the north. When it

was rather close it stopped, and seemed to divide itself in two. While the upper part re

mained motionless, its lower part descended, landed in a field between two haystacks,

and soon ascended to reatach itself to the part left in the air. Having regained its initial

shape, the object took off and rapidly disappeared." (xx.)

3 October Vron, France, (about 6:45 p.m.)

A "ship" and a "creature."

Michel wrote.

"On Sunday evening, October 3, two young men of Vron (Somme) were riding

their bicycles along Route D-27. Vron is a little village five miles from both Rue

and Quend, the area where, two and a half hours later, the second pursuit ofa car by

an unidentified object would take place

"About 6.45, as the Vron cyclists were two and a half miles from Ligescourt,

they suddenly perceived, 150 yards ahead, in the middle ofthe road, a sort of lumin

ous device emitting an orange light The witnesses, Bernard Devoisin and Rene

Coudette, both 18 years old at the time, tell the story.

" 'It was circular, three yards wide, perhaps two yards high, and called to mind

the shape ofa haystack Near it something moved, which we first took for an animal

But as we approached it we soon saw that it was a creature the height ofa child,

dressed like a diver. It entered the machine, which took rapidly to the air without a

sound when we were no further than 70 yards away from it.'

"To those who interrogated them the two boys appeared to be sincere. It should

be noted that the object they described—an orange-luminous disk with high-domed

top—strongly resembles the one reported by hundreds ofother witnesses in the hours

that followed. As for the 'little creature' they claimed to have seen, it bears an unmis

takable resemblance to those described by other persons many times in the course of

the autumn of 1954" (xx)

3 October Between Herissart and Amiens, France, (about 8:45 p.m.)

This case is being included because it has more detail than the account in the monograph

UFOs A History 1954 October, page 6.

According to Aime Michel:

"Several minutes after 8 45, while the Marcoing witnesses saw the object

13

disappear toward the southwest, an automobile driven by Mme. Nelly Mansart,

ofNo.8, Rue de la Marliere, Amiens (Somme), was leaving Henssart. With

Mme Mansart were two other Amiens residents, M. and Mme Delarouzee

"As the car was about to turn left into the Amiens road, the three motorists

suddenly saw, at low altitude, a luminous ball in the sky, its color a brilliant

orange On closer observation its shape seemed to be 'like a mushroom hat.'

"The upper part ofthe 'mushroom' appeared to vibrate as it changed color

from violet to greenish, while short 'cables' of some kind hung from the bottom

surface The witnesses estimated the object's dimensions at 20 or 25 feet, its

distance at 150 yards.

"Mme. Mansart made the turn at the crossroad She then perceived that the

object, now almost at ground level, had also turned and was following her car,

always at the same distance. The three motorists grew frightened Mme Man

sart speeded up, the sooner to reach Rubempre, a village about a mile away, in

hopes that the mysterious object would be intimidated by the houses and go

away. And in fact it slanted offand disappeared. But hardly were the travelers

clear of the village than they again saw behind them, still almost level with the

ground and almost no distance away, the tenacious 'mushroom.' It had detoured

the village, and now regained the road!

"The next village was Pierrgot a mile or so distant. The three motorists be

gan to wonder what this importunate follower wanted ofthem, and how it would

end At the outskirts of Pierregot, the same maneuver* it slanted off and disap

peared. Mme Mansart continues.

" *As we left Pierregot, seeing that the object had rejoined us once again, I

stopped the car. The 'saucer' continued on for three or four hundred yards, and

then it stopped too, going around in circles, almost on the ground I waited a mo

ment, then started the car again It again took up its position and pursuit.

" 'It was only as we entered Rainneville, six miles from Amiens, that we saw

the "saucer" leave us, and this time for good. It turned off toward the west, picked

up speed, and disappeared with dizzying rapidity in that direction.'

'This astounding adventure all occurred in four or five miles of driving, and

in less than six minutes." (xx)

3 October Between Waben and Rue, France. (9 05 p.m.)

Scene re-enacted

Immediately after the UFO stopped following Mme. Mansart's car, a UFO, perhaps the same

one, started to follow a vehicle just 40 miles west ofPierregot. Michel wrote:

"M. George Galland, a businessman ofRue (Somme), was driving, with his

wife and son, along Route N-40 between Waben and Rue, 40 miles west ofPierre

got. And the same scene was re-enacted.

"Like the three Amiens motorists, the three ofRue suddenly perceived an or

ange object in the sky

14

"They also saw at once that the object was following them. At this place the

road, practically deserted, runs through sandy, swampy terrain The car's occupants

were not to undergo Mme Mansart's experience among the villages. M. Galland

slowed down to 30 miles an hour and could see the object do the same, following

them almost at ground level some hundred yards away. Just before Rue, after pursu

ing them for five miles, the object suddenly picked up speed, veered to the right, and

disappeared over St-Quentin-en-Tourmont in the direction ofthe sea " (xx.)

4 October Bruellet, France (mght)

Four little men9

According to a HumCat entry

"Some Bordelaise residents and their friends were returning to Bruellet, on the

road from Royan, when their attention was suddenly drawn to an intense red light

hovering in the sky. They stopped and got out of their cars

"About 12 or 13 meters from the ground they saw a round device (engin) about

six meters in diameter with a cupola, from which shone a yellowish-red light. There

wasn't a sound. A few seconds later the engin moved and dropped toward the ground,

behind some trees Two or three drivers went into the woods with a spotlight [flash

light] and saw, in a meadow surrounded by trees, the engin, around which four little

men one meter high busied themselves.

"The drivers moved toward the engin but the occupants entered it. There was a

blue light, then an orange, then red, which blinded them; then the engin took off mak

ing no noise " (xx)

"The sighting at Montceau-les-Mines (Saone-et-Loire) is outstanding for the

number of witnesses—about twenty, including two policemen. Around 7 p.m.,

every one ofthese persons saw a round, luminous object rise vertically from a

place called Chavannes, not far from the colliery railroad track, and then shoot

away toward the horizon. The object moved in absolute silence. Strangely, in this

and the woman was able to make out two small human-like faces behind the

face-plates in their helmets But instead of noses, she could see only two small

holes just above the mouth; and instead of the two usual eyes, she saw a single

eye in the middle of the forehead. Letting out a scream, the object (and the two

beings, presumably) disappeared emitting a slight hum " (xx)

Small dark form

Michel wrote

"M. Joseph Roy, mechanic in the Panhard factory, was riding his bicycle

along Route N-51 when directly in front ofhim and very low there was a burst of

intense light which he at first mistook for car headlights. The light moved little

in the darkness, then went out. M Roy continued to pedal and soon came to the

place where the light had disappeared In the field near the road an object about

three yards long, shaped like 'a giant artillery shell,' could be seen by the dim

light emanating from its 'portholes.' In front of this object moved a small dark

form which the frightened bicyclist did not stop to examine, and which he could

not describe He pedaled for dear life to the nearest police station The police

went back with him to the road where he had passed the apparition, and found

strange marks in the soft earth ofthe field Subsequent investigations revealed

that three other workmen a few miles away, bicycling to their night jobs, had seen

a ball of fire descending toward the place where M. Roy saw the 'shell' and thedark form " (xx)

Michel wrote*

"...a sighting with no appreciable deviation was recorded at Burnel, some 30

miles northeast of Montpezat. The two witnesses, MM. Quinaud and Lasserre, were

topgraphers, on their way to a surveying job. They saw 'a circular object maneuver

ing silently in the sky, and emitting red and green lights It descended as low as 600

feet, then disappeared in a matter of seconds in a prodigious burst of acceleration "

7 October Hennezis, France (no time)

"Half an egg'?"

Michel wrote

" the witnesses were children, Claude and Francoise Lansselin, aged 10 and

9 years. Both described something like 'half an egg,' red and luminous, 300 feet or

more away from them; Claude thought he had seen two men ofnormal height andappearance near the object. It was late in the day, and the sky was overcast." (xx.)

7/8 October Jettingen, France (night)

Railway official encounters "something" no more than 20 feet overhead.

This is another instance where more detail is contained in Aime Michel's account

"Here is the story told by the witness, M Rene Ott, railway official

" 'I was riding a motor scooter along Route D-16, between Berentzwiller

and Altkirch, when just this side ofthe village ofJettingen I saw in my headlight,

very clearly, an object in the meadow to the left ofthe road, only nine or ten feet

away. It was shaped like the top ofa mushroom, or a low hut, and it might have

been ten feet from tip to tip. In the cupola-shaped silhouette I could see a lighted

rectangle, like a door, about four and half feet high by two feet wide.

" 'The thing .frightened me, and I speeded up. But maybe 60 feet farther

along, I was caught in a fierce white light from behind me, that shone at least 200yards ahead and that seemed to be coming closer at terrific speed. In feet, the

machine or whatever it was passed over my head no more than 15 or 20 feet above

the road, and I distinctly felt a very strong current of air. The thing went ahead of

me as far as the village, for several hundred yards; at the first house it went almost

straight up and then disappeared behind the village. But I had had time to look at

it; it was extremely luminous in flight, showing all the colors ofthe rainbow. I

heard nothing, but ofcourse I was wearing a helmet" (xx)

10 October. Innsbruck, Austria, (shortly after sunset)

"FLYING SAUCERS AGAIN OVER TYROL "

Under the above headline in the newspaper Tiroler Nachnchten was this story

".. an absolutely reliable witness of Innsbruck writes us: 'Sunday (October 10,

1954—EB), shortly after sunset, I just enjoyed the wonderful forms of the western

horizon, the good visibili ty and the yellow tints when I spotted a bigger, glistening

"star" somewhat south ofMarchreisenspitze ridge My position was below the gen

darmerie houses near the Absam gravel pits (8 km east ofcentral Innsbruck in the

Inn Valley—EB). This startled me as it was still daylight and the horizon sunlit. A

glance at my watch 1747 In the field glass (Habicht 8x30) the star shone like burn

ing magnesium. It had an elliptical shape and stood on end. First I did not believe

my eyes when it moved. However, when it descended vertically and stopped then

moved up the ridge in an angular path keeping some distance to it, the thought

"UFO" flashed through my mind. The constantly bright body went off below Mar

chreisenspitze and disappeared behind the mountain at 1752 Although I kept an

eye on the western horizon for the rest of my walk expecting to see the phenomen

on return, nothing was to be seen; it had vanished Only when the first stars appear

ed in the night sky did I notice the enormous difference in brightness with regard to

the luminous flying object'" (xx)

(xx.) Berger,E "1954/55-The Austrian Share." UFO Phenomena pp 101,103.

10 October. Saint Marcel, France (?5.00p.m)

"Only sparks seen."

Two rural policemen patrolling on bicycles near the town of Saint Marcel became aware of the

passage ofa (tthing" spewing a shower ofsparks. No shape was viewed but a whistling, purring,

noise was heard. Whatever it was, it seem to be zooming through the air fairly close (an esti

mated 150 meters away). Investigating the phenomenon, the two policemen discovered 25

meters ofdamaged fence and a herd ofcows bellowing and crowding together for protection,

10? October. Near Frankfurt, Germany, (no time)

Former Luftwaffe pilots see silver disc

An INS dispatch stated. ". in Germany, pilots and pupils at a glider school near Frankfurt

claimed to have seen a 'slightly swollen silvery disc' moving noiselessly over their field Agence

France Presse said the 13 witnesses, some ofthem former Luftwaffe (German Air Force) men,

denied that they were victims ofan optical illusion." (xx.)

(xx.) New Orleans, Louisiana. New Orleans States. 10 October 54. (INS)

10? October. Buenos Aires, Argentina, (no time)

Hovered over cars.

33

INS dispatch, '"three motorists in Buenos Aires Claimed they saw a luminous craft which

hung motionless above their cars for one or two minutes and the rose vertically into the air

at tremendous speed. The motorists said the 'saucer' made no noise, although it trailed a

stream offlames." (xx.)

(xx) Ibid

10? October Beirut, Lebanon (no time)

Motionless over the seashore

INS dispatch:

"The Beirut newspaper L' Orient quoted Max Favell, a representative of a German

firm, as saying he saw a disc hang motionless over the seashore while giving out a feint

white light. Favell told the newspapers the craft landed for a few seconds and then took

off vertically.

"Abdelkarim Natour, an Agence France Presse employee in Beirut, said he saw a

light red ball-shaped object moving about 600 feet above the sea." (xx.)

(xx) Ibid.

10? October. Yaounde?, French Cameroons, Africa, (no time)

"Mushroom?"

INS dispatch: ". [a] report from the Cameroons mentioned a 'brilliant' object shaped like a

mushroom which hovered at a height of about 1800 feet for a few seconds and then moved off

rapidly in an easterly direction. The witnesses included the director ofthe Yaounde hospital and

several government officials." (xx.)

(xx.) Ibid.

10 October. Near St Etienne, France, (about 400 a m.)

"Responsible for ignition failures?"

This account has a few more details than that already used

"Could flying saucers be responsible for ignition failures ofautomobiles on the

roads ofFrance?

"This question is suggested by the statement ofa truck driver printed in the news

paper Le Progres de Lyon, an abstract ofwhich is given here.

"A strange adventure happened Sunday night to M. Baptiste Jourdy, a 'solid and

calm' man of about 30, who drives a milk pick-up truck ever night to St. Etienne. At

about 4 a.m., under an overcast sky, M. Jourdy was driving across an uninhabited

plateau, when his motor suddenly stalled and his headlight went out. The young man

34

stopped his vehicle, and got out to examine the battery for the cause ofthe ignition

failure. All ofa sudden, he saw above him an enormous multicolored 'thing,' moving

in the sky perpendicularly to the road The witness could not be definite about the

shape of this light, which receded at great speed beneath the cloud ceiling. The passage

ofthe object lasted for some seconds, possibly a minute. When the young man recover

ed from his amazement, he noticed that, without his having touched anything, his head

lights were on again. The motor started at the first try. The battery cables were intact "

11 October. Verausse, France. (4:20 a.m.)

Crimson globe follows car.

Michel wrote:

"M. Labonde, ofEpinac-les-Mines (Saone-et-Loire), was driving between Thury

and Champignolles on Route D-104 when, as he left the Vernusse woods, he became

aware that a strange reddish glow was lighting up the dark interior of his car Glancing

around, he discovered that a luminous crimson globe almost six feet in diameter was

about 75 feet behind him above the road, and seemed to be following the car.

"M. Labonde [nervously speeded up, then slowed down. The object was still com

ing after him. He turned into Route D-14, which led toward the village Lacanche, and

35

pushed the accelerator down to the floor, the object still kept pace behind him- But the

moment the car arrived at Lacanche, the luminous globe swerved, climbed into the sky,

and disappeared " (xx.)

11 October. Beauquay, France, (dawn)

Cows panic.

Michel wrote:

"Just before daybreak, a Normandy farmer was on his way through the fields

to milk his cow. Suddenly an uncanny red light began to spread across the dark land

scape, growing rapidly brighter. The fermer, and two others nearby, watched a huge

red object, elongated but lacking any well-defined shape, coming toward them at a

very low altitude It was so close to the ground that it 'scraped the treetops,' the

witness said, and the shadows ofthe hedgerows shifted as the object moved above

them. Its speed was rapid but not extraordinary. The terrified cows, their bells jangling wildly, scattered in all directions.

"When the fantastic apparition had receded into the distance, the farmer caught

his cow, and set to work. But the cow, insulted and injured, was on strike The other

two fermers tned their hand, but had to acknowledge defeat No milk was forthcominguntil the next morning." (xx.)


11 October. Heimersdor£ France (dawn)

A grass fire?

Michel wrote*

".. .at dawn on the 11*, Miles. Anny and Roselyne Pracht, young girls living inHeimersdorf(Haut-Rhin), were puzzled, as they left their house, by a strange lightJhat seemed to come from the neighboring pasture. Thinking that there must be a

grass fire, they went toward the light, only to discover a glowing disk, six feet high

At their approach it turned incandescent red, shot up into the air, and disappeared

over the horizon. The take offand swift departure were observed by two other

villagers. There was no noise " (xx.)

'Toward 7.30 p m three Bordeaux residents who prefer to remain anonymous

were driving between Royan and Breuillet along Route GC-40 They were at Tapig-

nac when they noticed a reddish glow lighting up the sky and fields. They stopped

the car, got out, and saw, two or three hundred yards from the road, a disk-shaped

object, surmounted by a luminous orange-red dome, hovermg silently about 30 feet

above the ground "It seemed to be suspended from an invisible thread, it hung there

in such perfect equilibrium,' they said

"They had watched it for several seconds when it began to move away, flying

levelly and horizontally at the same height above the ground until it slipped behind a

small woods only a short distance away The object itself was no longer visible, but

its light shone clearly through the trees

"Armed with a flashlight, two of the witnesses set off toward the woods. When

they had walked about 400 yards they saw the machine again, landed in a field sur

rounded by trees. Near it were four little creatures about three feet tall, busily engaged

in some mysterious activity or task. The motorists headed for the 'little men;' but

when they were only about fifty feet away the quartet ofhumanoids rounded the ma- -

chine and disappeared inside. Almost at once the object began to change color—to

blue, to orange, to red—dazzling the two witnesses, then left the ground at 'terrifying*

speed." (xx.)

11 October. Chateauneuf-sur-Charente, France (about 10 00 p.m.)

The car stalled and the headlights went out

Michel wrote.

'Two hours later, 55 miles east [of Tapignac], Mmes Julia Juste, Maria Bar-

bereau, and Marion Le Tanneur, all of Jarnac, were driving along Route D-14. 'We

were coming back from Bordeaux,' they said, 'and as we were about a mile from

Chateauneuf, at about 10 o'clock, two luminous globes appeared in the sky ahead

of us, at a low altitude. The car stalled and the headlights went out. We left the

car and stood beside the road for almost five minutes, watching the two globes.

" 'One was much smaller than the other, and at first they moved slowly, ap

parently following the same direction as the road Then they stopped, moved back

and forth to right and left several times, and stopped again. The larger one became

a brilliant white with a reddish halo. Finally both ofthem went straight down, dis

appearing from our view in the valley ofthe Charente River. We got the impression

that they landed somewhere.

" 'We re-entered the car, which now ran properly, and started for Jarnac again;

but later we were sorry that we did not wait to see if either ofthe objects would re

appear. The night was very clear. The moon was shining, a little behind us and to

the right.'" (xx.)

11 October. Montbazens, France (about 10:00 p.m.)

"There's a fire at the Gimeno house'"

Michel wrote:

"About 10 p.m. six men were working in an automobile repair shop operated by

M. Carriere, when the owner asked his son Bernard, a boy of 17, to -bring him a tool.

To do so the boy had to walk past a window and, glancing out, he noticed a bright

glow which seemed to come from the adjacent field. There's a fire at the Gimeno

house!' he cried.

"All the men ran out, but stopped dead m amazement when they saw the disk-

shaped object, about four yards in diameter and emitting a powerful red light, that

was parked in the field beside the Gimeno house. Most ofthem hesitated to approach

it, but one, M. Gardelle, started forward for a closer look. He had gone only a few

yards when the disk lifted noiselessly from the ground, and disappeared in a terrific

burst ofacceleration. M Gardelle staggered back, his hands in front of his face The

others ran to him. He was chokmg and gasping for breath, stunned as if by a violent

concussion.

"When he was somewhat himself again, all six men went to the place where the

disk had been resting, but could find no trace ofanything unusual. The whole sight

ing had lasted no more than two or three minutes. All the witnesses were men of

sound mind, steady nerves, without the smallest inclination toward 'saucermania.'

"It is significant that in almost every one ofthese 'proximity' cases the witness

es at first made a mistaken identication in the direction of the commonplace; they

thought the object a fire, a car, a haystack, or some other familiar object or phenom

enon." (xx.)

12 October. Brazil, Olavo Fontes, and UFOs.

Fontes put pen to paper and wrote:

"During the last three weeks of October, 1954, almost without warning, the firstflying saucer's large-scale reconnaissance ofBrazil was started. From the press recordsand from Air Force files it is quite clear that this country began to experience a thoroughinspection which equaled in intensity any saucer visitation to any part ofthe world.Sufficient observations were made to give the impression that the whole country was

subjected to a careful and methodical investigation, which was carried on four months.

The viewings were so numerous that in this necessarily briefreview I shall chooseonly the most outstanding cases.

"At first, from October 12th to November 3rd, for some unknown reason, the saucers took a special interest in the state ofRio Grande do Sul. By this time reports

started to come in from all over the country, chiefly from the states of Sao Paulo and

Minas Gerais. Some were caused by the growing excitement. But most ofthe cases

were caused by true UFOs." (xx.)

12 October. Sao Leopoldo/ Nova Hamburgo area, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. (8.30 p.m.)

Saucer flap starts?

Fontes wrote:

"No one knows exactly when the saucer flap started. But if one can pin down a

date, it would probably be about October 12,1954.

"That night, at eight-thirty, an AF fighter—the T6-1473—scrambled from an AFB

in Rio Grande do Sul to perform a night training flight over the cities of Sao Leopoldo

and Nova Hamburge, and surroundings. The pilot, Lieut. Alexandre M Penna, had

just finished some practice passes for night fighters when he spotted an orange lighted

object, very high to the âst ofhis plane In his report, written immediately after he

landed (and later released to the press by the AF) he said that 'the glowing object seem

ed to have an apparent diameter of40 centimeters, and stood motionless in the cloudless

moonlit sky for twenty minutes before vanishing.' Two other pilots in the squadron—

Lieutenants Sahba and Dipp—flying over the same area had also observed it. The time,

location and description ofthe object were checked and 'there was no doubt,' he said,

'that they had seen the same craft.'" (xx.)

(xx.) Fontes original notes donated by Robert Gribble now in the author's files

12 October. Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil (9:40 p.m.)

Another sighting m the do Sul district.

Fontes wrote:

"The same night [the'12th] a strange object was spotted over Pelotas, Rio Grande doSul, by members ofthe city's fire department. The fire squadron commander, Lieut. Adil

Quites, was the first to see the UFO moving swiftly through the sky, from east to west, at

9:40. He called his relatives and the fire soldiers in the area, and for a few minutes they

watched the object cross the space. All the witnesses described it as 'disc-shaped, large,

luminous, noiseless, and moving at great speed.' The sight was reported the next day by

local newspapers, but nobody was interested in the matter and no one in the AF had be-

41

lieved the story " (xx.)

13 October North of Lyon, France, (about 4'50 p.m)

Multiple flashes of a very clear orange color.

Michel wrote

"Around 4 50 p m M Claudius Bennier, an insurance agent ofTrevoux, was

driving to Parcieux, north of Lyon, when he noticed, toward the east, an extremely

brilliant object that seemed slowly to be losing altitude

" 'All at once,' said the witness, 'the object, which had reached an altitude that

I estimate at about 3,000 feet, above the St-Jean-de-Thuigneux and Ranee regions in

The Dombes, lighted up violently, sending out multiple flashes of a very clear or

ange color At the same time it accelerated tremendously and disappeared '" (xx.)

13 October. Graulhet, France. (4*30 p m)

"Angel hair."

Michel wrote.

"At 4 30 p m. I [M Carcenac, a tanner that worked in Graulhet] noticed at a

high altitude toward the northwest, moving southward at full speed, a white object

which seemed to have a curious shape I first thought it must be a jet plane of an

unfamiliar type Not making out any vapor trail, I went and got my opera glasses I

could then see very distinctly a sort of huge, flexible, soft disk, white, which was

swaying as it moved along at tremendous speed

" 'I had been following the bizarre craft for several seconds when it exploded in

full flight. At the same time a circular object, very much smaller and silvery, seemed

to spurt out from the mass and continued straight toward the south, where it soon dis

appeared, while the burst fragments ofthe soft disk scattered out through the sky in a

multitude ofshapeless fragments which began to fall gently like shreds ofcloth or pa

per.'

"Everyone who had seen this strange explosion rushed toward the place above

which it had happened, they were able to see the debris reach the ground, sometimes

catching on trees or telegraph wires Many witnesses picked up the fragments ofma

terial, which resembled silvery filaments clmgmg together like cobwebs, and 'wilted

away' when handled. A sample was taken to the police, and a chemist in Graulhet

tried to analyze it, but without success In the heat, the strange material evaporated

without leaving any traces When brought near a flame, it disappeared almost instan

taneously and produced neither fire nor smoke " (xx)

13 October Ankara, Turkey, (about noon)

Inhabitants in "le quatier Ulus" see a saucer hover "longtemps."

The Agence France Presse reported*

...Anatolia had not previously had the privilege of seeing flying saucers above its

territory A report originating in Ankara indicates that this gap is now filled Several per

sons living in the Ulus quarter of Ankara saw, about noon, an object which remained

immobile above them for a long time Suddenly, it moved off at great speed and disappeared " (xx)

14 October. Big research balloon crosses southern France.

Aime Michel's brother, Joseph, notified him the afternoon of October 14th a large research

balloon had been launched in the Alps near the Italian frontier and prevailing winds were

expected to carry it across southern France With "saucer panic" sweeping the French country

side, Michel expected a flood of saucer sightings. The results shocked Michel:

"Numerous witnesses did indeed call it a 'flying saucer ' But here is the

surprise, the astonishing fact which perplexed all those who at that time be

lieved—and I was one ofthem—that mass hysteria, or something like it, was

responsible for 95 percent ofthe saucer sightings reported in the previous two

months- all the witnesses, without exception—even those who thought they had

seen a flying saucer—described the object and its behavior with complete accuracy

"The sketches which I received immediately from M Ehe de Vezins, a wit

ness in Aveyron—together with a statement expressing his conviction that sau

cers exist and that he had observed one—were so exact that they corresponded in

every detail to the photograph from the Haute Provence observatory. The news

papers found no contradictory descriptions to publish, and I received no crackpot

letters. The descriptions were so unanimous and so precise that before any invest

igation was made, and long before the observatory photograph was released, the

true nature ofthe phenomenon was obvious to any informed person " (xx)

" .M. and Mme. Vitre, grocers on the Place Madeleine in Beaune, had just left

the village ofMeursanges (Cote-d'Or) to go home by car. They had driven only a

few hundred yards on Route D-111 when they noted through the window a luminous

object flying at high speed. Quickly leaving their car, they called to the people at a

nearby farm, and together they watched the maneuvers ofthe object. Their descrip

tion is fascinating when we recall such a case as that ofFrasne, two days earlier, or

many others that are as good as identical

" 'The object,' they said, 'stopped for an instant, came down slowly, balancing

and changing color, throwing out yellow, orange, and violet beams, and then resumed

its course and disappeared behind the trees ofa wood.' Next to this group of trees,

and east-southeast ofMeursanges, is the village ofChevigny-en-Valiere, here another

witness described the Meursanges object, seen at the same time. Still farther to the

east-southeast is the village ofPalleau, four miles in a straight line from Meursanges

and two and a half miles from Chevigny. At that moment M. Begin, a farmer at

Chevigny, saw passing overhead a round, green, luminous object, crossing the sky at

high speed." (xx)

(xx) Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery pp 173-174.

Michel was struck by an odd fact about the Meursanges and Chevigny observations on the

14th-

" .two well-acquainted witnesses described quite different phenomena, those who

did not know each other—those at Meursanges and the one at Chevigny—described ex

actly the same sight These two reports that are in agreement were from people only a

few miles apart, people who had no connection with one another were seized simultan

eously by an identical hallucination. On the other hand two people from Chevigny, who

did know each other well and who met several times a day, were seized at almost the same

moment by different hallucinations, at different places." (xx)

(xx.) Michel, Aime. Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, p. 174

14 October. St-Germain-du-Bois, France, (night)

Luminous dome, orange-red

Michel wrote:

"M. Marcel Lonjarret was walking in the country at nightfall when a peculiar

light attracted his attention, and he went to investigate. Behind a hedge at the bor

der of a wheat field he saw, motionless and almost touching the ground, a sort of

luminous dome, orange-red. He watched it, without daring to go any nearer, and

then went home. The next day, he went back to the same place and could not find

any trace ofthe object" (xx.)

14 October Between St-Romain-sous-Gourdon and Brosses-Thillot, France. Night)

Motor stopped. "Like a plate turned upside down "

Michel wrote*

" ..M. B—, living in Montceau-les-Mines, was riding a motorcycle on the

road from St-Romain-sous-Gourdon to Brosses-Thillot, also in Saohe-et-Loire.

Suddenly without any apparent reason his motor stopped and could not be started

again. He got off, and a bright light burst out about fifty yards in front ofhim, re

vealing a circular object that looked, he said, 'like a plate turned upside down.'

"M. B— looked at the sight in amazement, then in fear, and decided to turn

back, walking and pushing his motorcycle. But when he reached the point where

his motor had stopped, it started up again." (xx.)

(xx ) Michel, Aime. Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery p. 175.

14 October. Between Gueugnon and Ciry-le-Noble. (night)

Michel wrote.

"...a car was traveling on ..[Route D-60 between Gueugnon and Ciry-le-Noble],

driven by M. Andre Cognard ofCiry-le-Noble. At that point the road winds up and

down among the hills.

" 'All at once,' said M Cognard, 'at the top of a slope I found myself face to

face, so to speak, with a sort ofdisk of such brilliance that it blinded me, like a light

house beam. I had to stop. The object flew over me slightly to my right at a low

altitude and continued its route westward, where it remained visible for several min

utes before disappearing into the distance.'" (xx.)

(xx.) Michel, Aime. Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, p. 175.

14 October. Meral, France. (Dusk)

Dome-shaped disk. Black silhouette.

Michel wrote:

"A former who was getting ready to leave his field saw an orange-colored

ball [apparently the disk looked like glowing ball of light at a distance] arrive

and land on the ground not far away. Approaching, he saw a dome-shaped disk,

flat on the bottom, emitting a blinding light that illuminated the field for 200yards around.

'The object seemed to be translucent, and a black shape could be seen

silhouetted inside it. For ten minutes the witness watched the bizarre spectacle.

Then the color ofthe object changed from white to red; it took offand disappearedrapidly toward the north.

46

"The witness then went to the spot where the object had been. There was a

sort of luminescent steam there,' he said, 'which was slowly falling to the ground.

I looked at it with curiosity, and then I went home. When I took offmy jacket, I

noticed that my clothes were covered with a layer ofwhite, rather sticky stuff,

like paraffin, which soon disappeared without leaving any marks.'" (xx.)

(xx) Michel, Aime. Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, pp. 176-177)

14 October Angles, France. (Dusk)

"Jellyfish."

Michel wrote

"In... [Angles] several isolated witnesses reported a spectacle very characteristic

ofthe passing ofa 'jellyfish' saucer.

*They said that they had seen a brilliant craft which changed shape as it came

nearer, then sent out multicolored lights and descended very low. A farmer who was

quite near tried to approach it, and saw it give off a blinding light, then rise and disap

pear." (xx.)

14 October. Southend-on-Sea, England.

This case has been discussed in the monograph UFOs- A History 1954 October, pages 53-54.

In an issue ofFlying Saucer News published by a British UFO organization, there is a brief men

tion ofthe incident and a note that the case was "personally investigated" by Alex S. Jennings.

There little,new in the account except for the woman's statement she looked back after running a

100 yards and could see no sign ofthe object, apparently meaning the thing didn't stay around

very long. Jennings also include a drawing, which may (it doesn't say so) have had Miss Henn-

esey's stamp ofapproval (See drawing) (xx.) ^ •>

15 October. Po River Valley, Italy, (no time)

UFO reports in the Po River Valley are discussed in the monograph UFOs' A History October,

p 56. Here some additional details:

"Eight farmhands said they saw a luminous disc settle gently on the ground

about a mile away. As they hurried toward it the disc gave out a blinding light,

shot into the air, and streaked north. They told police [they found?] a hole 20 feet

in a diameter, and scorched trees." (xx)

(xx.) New York, N.Y.(?), World-Herald 18 October 54. (Reuters)

15 October. Near Vauchelles-les-Domart (Somme, France, (no time)

Five small figures.

According to a report obtained by UFO investigator Claude Perrier

"Mme. S., her husband, and another man, M. Lourdel, were drivmg a truck on

Dept Route 216, just outside Vauchelles-les-Domart, when beyond a small thicket

on the other side of a freshly ploughed field Mme S., who was driving, stopped

the truck and she and M Lourdel ran into the field to see what it was. Suddenly

they saw four or five small figures, no more than a meter high, walking 'Indian file'

from right to left directly in front ofthe bushes, not more than 25 meters away.

Frightened, the two turned on their heels and ran back to the truck, drivmg quickly

off. The police, notified ofthe sighting, inspected the area several days later but

were unable to find any traces The figures appeared to be dressed in diver's suits

('les scaphandners')" (xx.)

15 October. Calais, France. (3:40 a m.)

Like a mushroom.

Michel wrote:

"At 3:40 am. a baker in a suburb south of Calais, on the English Channel,

came out of his oven room for a breath of cool air. He noticed a sort of yellow,

luminous object coming down rapidly and landing on the railway not far fromRoute N-43, near a place called St-Pierre-Halte. The object looked like a mush

room and was, according to the witness, twelve feet in diameter and six feet

high. It soon took flight and disappeared." (xx.)

15 October. Near Aire-sur-la-Lys, France.

Landing—powerful beams of light.

Michel wrote:

a workman in the Isbergues steel mill saw a circular, luminous craft come

slowly down from the sky and alight in a field. At the moment it landed the craft

sent out powerful beams of tight, which illuminated the sky and were noticed by

numerous witnesses in nearby villages." (xx.)

(xx ) Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, pp. 181 -182.

15 October. Between Niffer and Kembs, France, (evening)

Executed a zig-zag.

Michel wrote:

". .two motorists were driving on this road [Route N-68] when they saw a

brilliant orange-colored luminous object approaching. It slowed down, executed

a zig-zag as it descended to a low altitude (the witness estimated 1,000 feet),

changed color to white, accelerated and disappeared toward the southeast." (xx)

Michel, Aime Flying Saucers and the Straight-Line Mystery, p. 182.

16 October. The meteor test.

At 9:30 p.m. on the 16th there occurred an event which supplemented the balloon test oftwodays earlier. A huge slow meteor passed over twenty departments of France and was observed

by thousands ofpeople This was another opportunity to test the "saucer panic' sweeping thenation of France. Michel wrote:

'The countless reports that were gathered show, in feet, that even though wit

nesses called this object a '-flying saucer,' the descriptions of it were very similarover the 120,000 square miles from which the phenomenon was visible: 'an orange

ball followed by a trail,' a 'huge, luminous ball with a tail,' a 'flying egg followedby a trail,' 'the bottom ofa bottle with a trail thirty times its diameter,' and the like.The same spectacle was described in much the same way everywhere." (xx)

16 October Lesparre-Medoc (Gironde) France.

A being one meter tall.

According to our source.

"A history and geography teacher, driving along the road at night, saw in the bush

es along his route an orange light. He stopped the vehicle and approached on foot, dis

covering an object, about five meters in diameter and round in shape, sitting on the

ground. A moment later, a being one meter tall in a kind ofdiving suit approached the

witness, emitting several times a phrase that sounded like, 'Ka-a-lo-o-tri-t-onn' (sic)

Then the entity returned and entered the apparatus through a kind ofporthole The ob

ject then took off rapidly, going straight up." (xx.)

16? October. Fatloria Lago in Valle Ca Pisani, Italy, (about noontime)

"It was as if a cloud passed over."

According to a press report.

'Terror and surprise paralyzed, about yesterday, some

countrymen ofthe Fatloria Lago Valle Ca Pisani ofCorta-

rina (Polesine). A dark, non-luminous object ofovoid form,

surrounded by a halo ofcrackling yellow-blue flares[?],

stopped for a moment over the house ofAntonio Crepaldi.

*It was as if a cloud had passed over. I saw a big shadow

which kept growing larger," said Antonio. A little pagliaio

at the end ofthe aia caught fire. The coloni ofthe fattoria,

terrorized, hid under a wagon." (xx)

17 October. Reims (Marne) France, (evening)

Cigar-shaped craft Three hairy beings.

According to our source;

"An unidentified man, returning from fishing along the canal at Reims, saw a

bright light resting on the grass near the canal. As he approached he saw it came

from a cigar-shaped object about 26 feet long and 7 feet high From one end came

'phosphorescent' lights which reflected on the metallic hull ofthe object. A door

appeared from which emerged three hairy beings, about 3 feet 9 inches tall, walk

ing 'crab-wise,' or sideways. Then an even smaller being a little more than a yard

high appeared, whose lower legs appeared transparent. The witness tried to ap

proach closer, but the entities rushed back inside the object at surprising speed, just

as the witness was paralyzed by a red beam of light, which turned yellow, coming

from a porthole. The object then took off and flew rapidly towards Tinquex. The

witness then recovered his freedom of movement " (xx)

Dog partially paralyzed.

Our source states:

"The anonymous witness was hunting with his dog when he saw a gray object,

about four meters and one meter high, on the ground 40 meters away It had a dome,

from which two helmeted figures emerged. The witness fled, but his dog started to

ward the object; but it soon retreated, walking awkwardly as if partially paralyzed "

After this had gone on for a quarter ofan hour, the whole apparatus suddenly

started off at high speed and disappeared over the horizon. Other farmers in the

same region had described the object, not as a balance, but as a 'dumbbell.'" (xx)

12 30 p.m. today in the general direction ofManteno.

"One report came from William Doman, employee ofthe General Foods Corp.,

who said that he and four other workers saw 'three round white objects' during their

noticed the three disc-like objects in a V-formation. He said they came irom the south

west at an estimated altitude of 1,500 to 2,000 feet, passed above the airplane, turned

eastward, and disappeared to the southwest.

"Doman described the objects as pure white and about the same in diameter as the

size ofthe airplane. He called the attention of four other workers—Willard Purcell,

Louis Raun, Ed Iverson and Melvin Domagalla—who also watched until the objects

were out of sight

" 'At first we thought they were balloons,' Doman said. 'But we decided that they

were too large and traveling too fast for balloons.'" (xx.)

"A flying cigar "

A press report stated*

"Safad-Weds (Oct 20). Several residents here reported having seen 'a flying cigar'just before noon today, and one ofthe eye witnesses, an engineer, had drawn a sketch ofthe object [sketch not available unfortunately].

"Mrs. Pearl Mitzchia shouted to her neighbors at this morning to watch a gleamingobject, shaped like a cigar, in the sky. She described it as 1 V% meters thick and emittingsmoke from its rear. It circled above the city gaining speed and finally disappearing overthe ancient fortress.

"Confirmation ofher story came from several persons, including the engineer whosaid that the cigar was shaped semi-elliptically [?] and that it cruised above the city for

two minutes [These Middle East cases badly needed investigators to clear up the details]"(xx.)

The French certainly know how to greet important visitors. (See article on page 69)

Headline "STRANGE VESSEL CROSSES SKY IN ILE-DE-FRANCE "

A French news story claimed*

"Melun—Hundreds of witnesses residing in the communities of Bray-sur-Seine,

Lagny, Moret, and Thomery, say that on Thursday evening they saw a strange pheno

menon an oval-shaped craft, yellowed-orange in color and more than 20 meters in

diameter, at an altitude of 300 - 400 meters

"The vessel remained motionless for a certain time, and [then] disappeared at a

dizzying speed

"One ofthe witnesses, M Andre L—, [name omitted] a meteorogist, who lives

in Thomery, estimated the speed ofthe craft at approximately 10,000 km/hr. M L—

stated 'I am absolutely certain, for I am quite familiar with these matters, that it was

neither an aircraft nor a weather balloon '" (xx)

"Very luminous disc "

According to a press report

"Brest, Oct. 25—A trustworthy piece oftestimony on flying saucers comes from

the Brest region, from a superior naval engineering officer who wishes to remain

anonymous On Thursday [October 21st], about 8*00 p.m., above the hills, between

Plougastel and Landerneau, he noticed a 'very luminous' disc which appeared to be

stationary at 8,000 meters altitude To the naked eye, the disc appeared one meter

wide, and had the shape ofa biconvex lens.

"The officer's wife likewise observed the luminous pomt, while her husband went

to get the glasses But when he returned, clouds were hiding the disc

" 'It was certainly no atmospheric phenomenon,' the engineer told us 'And my

scientific knowledge furnishes me no logical explanation for such an appearance " (xx )

The same press account said.

"Observers in another West Village, Leadala, said they had seen four orbs moving

in pairs from the north-west to the south-east. They described them as 'bigger than the

biggest stars' with trails behind them.

The Jerome School "angel hair" case

This incident is mentioned in the monograph UFOs A History

October 1954, page 79 The information presented was from a

phone call Leonard Stnngfield made to principal Rodney Warrick.

Additional information is now available from a news clipping from

a local paper, some notes made by professors C A Maney and Dr

James McDonald who made inquires

It is interesting to compare this sightmg with the ones being

made in Europe during this same time period

The Dr Maney tells us about the beginning ofthe event*

"The pupils ofJerome Elementary School had been

granted an extra recess that afternoon as a reward for good

behavior As described by one ofthe two teachers ofthe

school, Mrs George W. Dittmar, 'It was one ofthose glor

ious warm fall days and the whole sky was a clear blue '

"The attention ofthe children [The rural school went

to the 8th grade] became directed toward a strange objectin the sky circling high above the school [See note about

altitude made by Dr McDonald] The object was dazzling

bright and cigar-shaped The children watched the object a

Vf1yff«ucerkmed a Pekinese dogyesterday according

te workers at a rubber'factory at Poixoull, near Naples.They said they;

and the dog saw a J

silver object stop in!mid-air for 15.»ec-{6no>, rise vertically \with a hissingsound. . .

The Pekineseyelped at the ap-paritlou, then dropped dead.—AAP.

while before thinking to call their principal, R R Warrick. In response to their shouts

Mr Warrick came out to the fire escape in time to observe the object at that moment

hanging high and motionless in the sky " (xx)

(xx) Maney, C A and Richard Hall. The Challenge of Unidentified Flying Objects

Privately published- 1916-17th St, N W Washington 9, D C, pp.40-41.

In regards to the altitude ofthe UFO, Dr James McDonald talked to Mrs Dittmar some years

later He didn't learn much of anything new but she said the UFO was ".. not far above them "

Maney continues*

"Then the ship made off ["zoomed horizontally"—Stringfield] at tremend

ous speed, disappearing rapidly from view.

"Mr. Warrick called Mrs Dittmar, who at once came out on the fire escape

too late to observe the object, but in time to witness a most beautiful scene For,

as the object darted away there appeared another strange sight. The air as high

and far around as the teachers and children could see was filled with 'the most

beautiful soft white-looking tufts like cotton slowly floating to the ground.' Mr

Warrick said it was almost at once as the object disappeared that this material be

gan to show in the sky [If the material from the UFO, then it could not been very

high in the sky] For about 45 minutes they watched this fibrous material floating

downward

'The children brought up pieces of it to the fire escape for Mr. Warrick and

Mrs. Dittmar to examine. In the words ofMrs. Dittmar 'the substance had long

fibers very much as if someone had taken strands of'angel hair' and pushed

some in bunches toward the middle or end, leaving a trail of fibers attached to it.

It was very fine and soft to touch. It did not stick to our hands, but when we held

two ends and pulled, it stretched without tearing. Where it stretched it had a shiny

appearance The part we held between our fingers very quickly seemed to go to

nothing.

"However, we could roll it between our fingers into a very, very tiny ball In

a short while our hands had a green stain on them. I soon washed my hands in

warm water and the stain rinsed quickly off. Mr. Warrick said he was leaving his

on his hads to see what would happen. He later said his hands became clammy

and finally the color disappeared of its own accord " (xx.)

Principal Warrick died in 1958 so we have no follow up on his observation. The 1954 news

story does have some of his reaction to the event which confirms in large part Mrs Dittmar's

testimony

"Warrick said part ofthe cobweb-like substance fell in long strands and

part of it came down in balls almost like cotton Trees, bushes, and wires were

covered

"Warrick said* 'It looked to be like asbestos and felt like asbestos.'

"Both Warrick and Mrs. Drttmar related that when they were able to catch

two ends ofa strand the stuff could be pulled out into a long thread—'so tough,'

Warrick said, 'that it couldn't hardly be broken.'

"Within less than a minute after being touched, however, the substance

would completely disappear.

"Both teachers also concurred in the report that when only one end of a

strand was touched, the substance would roll into a ball before disintegrating.

"Possibly the strangest part ofthe report is that when anyone even touched

the substance their fingertips would turn green

"Mrs Dittmar said she was able to rinse the green from her hands without

even using soap Warrick, as an experiment, didn't wash his hands. He said

that they broke out into a cold sweat but that the green color disappeared in a

half hour or 45 minutes

"Warrick said today: 'I have never seen anything like it or heard ofanything

like it It was the most unusual sight I ever saw.'

"He added that no one was frightened. The children—all 6th, 7th, and 8thgraders—considered it 'quite a lark,' he said." (xx.)

indicate that

Something else she mentioned had to do with color. She said that although one's hand's

In 1958 the Marysville Journal-Tribune published a "looking back" story about the Jerome

case, for the most part quoting Robert C. White, who was a Public Information official for the

Air Force at the time ofthe school incident. White, while saying the sighting was still unexplain

ed, struck to the military's view that solving any report was "just a matter of getting enough in

formation promptly " (xx) White didn't volunteer any new information, or much information

Professor's Maney's interview of Mrs. Dittmar produced even more impressive testimony

about the amount of "spider web." Mrs. Dittmar told Dr. Maney:

"When we left the school, we noticed it clinging to the grass, flagpole, and some

on the cars I believe the thing that impressed me even further was what we saw as we

drove the three miles to the Columbus road The telephone wires were completely

woven shut, as if hands had carefully spread 'angel hair' out very evenly. Not only

this, but the telephone wires were connected to the electric wires on the other side of

the road, so that it was like a misty canopy over the road for three miles No more

seemed to be coming down by this time " (xx.)

height

"They continued saying that during several minutes the 'objects' stopped and

effected several maneuvers, then changing course to return to their former position,

and disappearing moments later at great speed. Witnesses (among which was a

"Mysterious being " "I was left ground-stuck, unable to move "

News out ofRome on the 24th states

"A 'Martian' has been seen by an inhabitant ofErba, near Como. The news

papers carried the news that Renzo Pugina, a 37-year-old man known as a reliable

and serious person, when entering his home during the night after driving his car

into the garage, suddenly saw a strange 'creature* standing near a tree. The 'crea

ture1 was less than five feet tall wearing a 'luminous helmet' and having a body

covered with a 'shield of scales'[sic]. The mysterious being, upon seeing Renzo,

pointed a beam of light in his direction emitted from some sort ofhand-carried de

vice 'At this moment, says Renzo, I was left stiff and ground-stuck, unable to move

I got scared and gripped hard my keys to the garage This contact with metal neu

tralized in part the fluid [?] to which I was being submitted and felt myself free from

it [I don't know what Renzo means by 'fluid.' My guess, (if it was a true event) is

that he simply overcame the beam because it wasn't strong enough to hold him—

L E Gross]. Then I went towards the strange creature, screaming.' Renzo added to

this that the 'Martian' lifted himself up in the air from the ground making a little

noise and that in the spot where he was standing there was found some sort of

'grease stain' [No mention ofwhere the creature went—L E. Gross] When Renzo

came back into his house, still under the shock ofhis experience, he told his wife

about what had just happened. He went to bed, shivering with a convulsive shak

dull color from our jets, and reflected the sunlight It appeared to be moving in a very

strange way. The movements were circular but, at the same time, it maneuvered from

one side to another in an erratic 'zig-zag' course. To the observers on the ground

these motions seemed to be slow But, as a jet pilot, I know that a supersonic jet plane

flying at the high altitude the object appeared to be, between 40,000 and 45,000 feet,

would give the impression of a very slow motion. For this I am induced to believe

that the object's speed was tremendous, far beyond anything known to me It was hard

to believe but I was not alone Ten sergeants and the same number "of soldiers were

now at my side witnessing the sighting But I understood it would be wise to call for

the opinion of more skilled observers In doing so I found Major Magalhaes Mota and

reported. 'Major, there is a body over the base. I would like you to have a look at it

and give me your opinion ' He agreed and I drove him to a place where he could see

the object

"REPORT FROM MAJOR-AVIATOR J MAGALHAES MOTA."

"This object was sighted from several places by a number of observers. At 2 00

p m, a few moments after my arrival to the Base, I was asked by the Lieutenant to ob

serve it. When he sowed me the object I saw it distinctly with the naked eye, silhou

etted against the blue sky It was making tight turns and moving from one side to

another The motion was too fast for any aircraft because the object was very high in

the sky At the altitude it was placed, the speed had to be fantastic to convey such im

pression of motion, so clearly defined. For 15 or 20 minutes we observed, studied, and

discussed the object and its strange performance and finally decided to go to the of

ficer's canteen to get more people to see it But at that moment this was superfluous

because the Base was already in full alertness. There was a great number of soldiers

and sergeants and maybe five or six officers gathered in front ofthe hangars followmg

the object. The activity was great all over the Base. Then, I approached a group of of

ficers to discuss the sighting and Lieutenant Ferraz left for the meteorological station to

verify the possibility ofa weather-balloon At that hour the object was moving slowly

in a position about 90 degrees from the horizon. Now the Lieutenant will report what

happened in the meteorological station.

"LIEUTENANT FERRAZ."

"After leaving Major Mota, it occurred to my mind that the most important thing

was to be sure about the shape and movements ofthe object And so, I headed first to

ward the Air Base Control Tower. There, at the Tower, I joined some air traffic opera

tors and we got some binoculars, very potent, the latest type. At the same time I tried to

verify the motion lying down flat and looking at the object against a reference point, the

roofs ofthe buildings in the area. I was right, the object was moving The motion was

circular—at one time to one side, at the other tune to another side Through the binoc

ulars I got a good look at the object and started to make a drawing on the back of a

match-box. The shape at first seemed to be like a five-pointed star [no doubt an im

pression due to a strong reflection of sunlight], at an angle of45 degrees. Then it was

not more like a star, the five points faded away, and I saw the right shape very clearly,

82

no more doubt Then, I finished my drawing, reproducing accurately what I was seeing

Not satisfied, I left the Tower and headed towards the meteorological station We have

on the Base a section operated by Americans that launched weather-balloons to check

the winds An American sergeant was there, and I talked to him and asked for a theodo

lite I estimated the object to be higher than 40,000 feet but I wanted to establish the ex

act altitude He said he couldn't help me because it was Sunday and the instrument was

locked into a radar car [truck?] and he didn't have the key to open it Next, I asked if he

had sent up a weather balloon that day and he answered no. I asked himto come with

me to the 8th hanger to see a very interesting object flying over the Base. He did so andwas very surprised seeing the object and saying 'This thing is impossible ' I said to him-

'Why impossible, can't you see it? What exactly are you seeing right now?' The Ameri

can sergeant said 'In fact, I am observing an object a bright aluminum in color, round-

shaped and moving in circular motion from one side to another.' 'That's exactly what I

see/ I said and left, to look for the Major [Up to this point I didn't understand what all

the excitement was about It seems the object could have been a balloon—L.E. Gross]

When I found the Major I told him that there were no balloons m the air. The object

could not be a balloon ofany kind because a balloon has a spherical outline If you look

at it in the sky, and this spherical shape looks always the same (round, circular, a circle)

at any angle or perspective you look at it. Now, the object changed shape according to

its position in space in relation to the observers. It was star-shaped, circular or oval-

shaped, at different times.

" I also told Major Mota that the object was now being observed at the hanger by a

number of officers, pilots, civilians and soldiers

"Suddenly I saw another disk, I mean another object, approaching the Base area at a

terrific speed For a few hours we had only one object, hovering more or less stationary

over the Base with little circular movements. Now, we had two craft: the first one in the

same position as before and a second one moving swiftly across the sky. In a few seconds

this object approached the other one and stopped at its side above our heads (at 90 degrees

from the horizon). In a few moments it started to move again at a fantastic rate and re

versed abruptly its course, drawing an arc of 60 degrees in the sky and disappearing at an

angle of 30 degrees. It disappeared into infinity in the same strange manner as it seemed

to have dropped out of nowhere. As before, the sky was blue and clear with no clouds and

visibility was very good.

"As the second object was gradually pulling away, I saw it distinctly change in shape

At first it was round-shaped but gradually became cigar-shaped, as the object raced away

"But the most astounding fact was the speed. I've never seen such a thing with such

a tremendous velocity. I estimated the time the object spent to go from the vertical to the

30 degree angle as 8 or 10 seconds, no more than 10 seconds.

"As the object moved in the sky it brought into being and was surrounded entirely by

some kind of mistiness, or cloudiness, or halo This halo disappeared when the object

stopped in the air. When it started to move again the halo reappeared and got stronger as

the object increased in speed.

"I witnessed, the sighting until 4.30 p.m. when I left to fly on a training flight and it

was the last time I saw the object. I saw it for three hours and a half, clearly silhouetted

against the blue sky. At 9:00 p ra on the same day I showed my drawing from the object

to Major Mota. I had never read before anything about flying saucers. But my drawing

showed to be identical to an alleged photo from a disk-like object published in the maga-

83

zine Cruzeiro. The Major compared the drawing with the photo and reached the same

conclusion1 They were identical My report is finished I have nothing more to say '

"MAJOR MOTA "

"I am going to finish my report. When the Lieutenant left me and was going to the

Control Tower and Meteorological Station I remained in the same place near the hanger

door and observed the arrival of a second object. It was heading northeast and it flashed

towards us at terrible speed It slowed down abruptly and stopped dead for a brief time,

near the other object. It came to a stop from a tremendous speed - all in about three se

conds It started to move in circles around the other disk that remained stationary over

the Base Suddenly one ofthe disk-shaped objects took up an east-west heading and

went from an 80 degrees height to a 30 degrees height in eight seconds I marked the

time with a chronometer Then it reversed course and came back. The chronometer re

gistered the time: ten seconds To climb up from a stopped position to that height—be

tween 40,000 and 50,000 feet—it needed only three seconds. The same time was record

ed in the first maneuver, to come down. If my numbers are right, the maximum speed

reached by the object varied between seven to eight thousand miles an hour. This estim

ation is true if my computation ofthe altitude was right But maybe I was wrong If I

was wrong by double the number, the speed would be half. If I was wrong by half the

speed would be doubled. But I think it improbable to be wrong by double or by the

half on a computation ofaltitude by the habit and training we have on that

"The apparent diameter of the objects—using as a reference point the apparent

size of a Meteor [a British jet fighter] jet plane flying at forty or forty-five thousand feet

—was three to four times the size of a Meteor As the size ofa Meteor jet from wing-tip

to wing-tip is 10 meters and 70 centimeters, I estimated the diameter ofthe objects to be

about 30 to 40 meters.

"I have also observed the halo described by Lt. Ferraz in his report and got the same

impression When the body was motionless it diminished and almost disappeared. When

the body was moving the halo seemed to grow, expanding uniformly around the object

"Through binoculars I was able to establish clearly the shape of he objects and get

some details about the structure. The shape was circular, ovoid or like a disk, according

to the relative position ofthe objects in relation to the observer. The strange craft seemed

to have some kind ofdome on the upper part and two or three swellings or protuberances

on the lower part I cannot explain better what these unfamiliar structures could be But I

saw them distinctly. The color was not the bright silvery color ofpolished metal, it was a

painted silvery aluminum-like [color].

"During the observation near the hanger door, we discussed the hypothesis of a col

lective hallucination. To check this possibility I went to the other side ofthe building, 60

meters away and there in front of the other hanger door, I found a few sergeants and a

number of soldiers and civilians I asked them: 'What do you see'?' They said* 'Major,

we see two objects: one is stationary and the other is now going slowly in a west-east

direction.' I came quickly to the other side ofthe building and asked the first group of

men the same question. The answer was identical. As the two groups were not in contact

with each other at any time, I discarded the hypothesis of a collective delusion

"One ofthe saucers disappeared towards the southeast after a number of erratic mane

uvers (hovering, accelerating for swift climbs and descending again, etc .) The other

84

saucer disappeared in the heights [sky?]. It started to climb up on a straight vertical line

at tremendous speed, diminishing in size gradually. After a few seconds it vanished in

the blue sky

"No jets had been scrambled to go after the objects and try to intercept them We

had discussed the matter and had decided against it

"No photos had been taken during the sighting The Base photographic section was

closed, it was Sunday Nobody had a camera at hand—and nobody had remembered this

in the frenetic agitation ofthe moment (Author's [Fontes] note I have the. information

that at least two pictures were taken, but I cannot swear it)

"Anyway, the observation had been absolutely clear and accurate We have observ

ed two round disk-shaped objects, through binoculars they presented a distinct oval-sha

ped outline, with one projection on the upper surface like a dome, and three small pro

tuberances on the lower one No smoke, flames, propellers, engine noise, or other visible

means of propulsion were noted. When moving they were surrounded by a strange halo

or cloudiness, which almost disappeared when the motion stopped The objects were not

rotating, but changed form at intervals as if they were oscillating as they flew

"I think it impossible to mistake them for any known man-made machine or device

Definitely they were not jet-planes or aircraft They were not some secret weapon, be

cause we have none of it [know of it9] They were not balloons, at the time of the sight

ing no meteorological balloon was in the air over the region, aside from the fact that bal

loons do not maneuver in tight circles, nor can they slow down abruptly, reverse their

course, or accelerate suddenly at great speed.

"Some people suggested it might have been Venus or it could have been Venus and

a balloon As I said, all balloons were grounded that day. We checked Venus too The

answer was No. First, it was not in the same spot in the sky as the objects We had com

puted the azimuth ofthe first object as about 350 degrees at an elevation ofabout 80 de

grees The azimuth at the elevation of Venus did not coincide Second, Venus would have

been a pinpomt of light in the sky and the chances of looking for a pmpoint of light in the

sky on a clear day are very few, unless you look at just the right spot.

"It is most unlikely that so many separate persons should at that time have chanced on

Venus in the daylight sky It is impossible that so many people should have chosen this one

day to be confused to the extent ofreporting the matter Third and last, nobody can see two

Venuses in the space at the same time, side by side, one circling around and stopping at the

other side. And the color of Venus, at daylight, does not conform with the color of the ob

jects we have observed So, the answer was not Venus

"We have also checked the possibility ofa hallucination and the answer was negative

I don't know what we saw I only know it could not have been anything familiar to us And

the speed was far beyond the possibilities of any man-made devices That is what I had to

say, I have finished my report." (xx)

24 October Torres City and Porto Alegre, Brazil (night)

Classified reports and 24 hour air patrols.

Fontes wrote

"But that day [the day ofUFOs over Gravatai field] was not to be ended quietly

because, that very night, saucer-shaped glowing objects were watched by a number of

people over Torres City Beach, and over Porto Alegre

"These sightings changed the placid and uninterested attitude so long held by

Air Force personnel about UFOs, and changed drastically. Classified orders came

down to investigate all UFO sightings. A security lid came down tight around all AF

bases in Rio Grande do Sul, and the unauthorized transmission or revelation to the

press of any information about the matter by the military was prohibited The Air De

fense Command started a 24 hour air patrol over all military installations in the state "

Major Mota misses saucer

Fontes wrote

"Next day (Oct 25) at noon, a civilian pilot alerted the Gavatai AF base about a

disc-shaped craft which was flying slowly over Osono, a nearby city. Immediately a

jet fighter was scrambled and directed to search the area where the UFO had been re

ported. The pilot, Major Magalhaes Mota, jet fighter squadron commander, searched

the area for a long time, going up to 12 thousand meters, but could see nothing He

went back to his base but later was informed that a number of ground observers from

Osono had reported the chase His plane had been seen flying just below the saucer,

but very far from it because the self-luminous craft was hovering at a fantastic height "

26 October The Brazilian Air Force's "Flying Saucers are Real" official statement

The following press release was handed out to the news media on October 26th at GravataiAFB

"On October 24, between 1 p m and 3 p.m strange objects were observed over

the Base It was impossible to measure their altitude and speed with accuracy How

ever it is reasonable"to say the bodies' speed and altitude were far beyond anything

known to the Base General shape ofthe objects appeared to be circular and they

looked to be silvery-dull in color Considering their altitude, erratic course and re

version to former places or position in space, it is impossible to confound them with

known celestial bodies At the time ofthe sighting no meteorological balloon was in

the air over the region.

"The sighting was witnessed by a number ofAir Force military personnel* offi

cers, sergeants and soldiers And also by civilians.

"The Base reported the sighting to the Air Force General Command and asked

for an investigation

"Cigar" gets away

A French press clipping says

"A young domestic servant of 1'Orne, M Aumoitte, 15, who lives at Chene-

Angot, saw 'a big cigar five meters long, pointed in front and rounded at the rear,'

which was seeking to land in a field

"The young man ran toward the craft, which then regained altitude, first

slowly and then at breath-taking speed." (xx)

26 October Porto Alegre, Brazil. (1 20 p nuand 9:30 p m)

Grey disc flying in vertical position

Fontes wrote

"That same day (26th), the UFOs appeared again over Porto Alegre and surroundings The first saucer was reported by an AF officer, Captain Antonio P. de Andrade.

'At 1 20 p m '—he stated in his report—'I observed a strange disc-shaped object, grey

in color, flying in a vertical position and from west to east. This object's speed and

altitude were enormous That night, at 9:30 p m.,' he said, 'I saw another UFO when

driving through the Canoas road At some place near the road I saw it as being an

orange-red glowing spherical object, flying to the west at great speed.' The same or

another UFO had been sighted, fifty minutes before, also from the ground, by another

AF officer, Captain Pedro Richard Neto In his official report he said that 'I have seen

the object for fifteen minutes. It was hovering over the Guaiba River near a place

named Belem Velno. It seemed to be round and faintly luminous, and its size (apparent

diameter) was a little smaller than the full moon's.

'After fifteen minutes, the object started to move away, diminishing gradually in

size. It changed into a pinpoint of light, but just before vanishing, it gave offa big

flash of light shinning brightly for a few seconds "' (xx)

"I wish had never seen it "

A press report states

"There are three Nhill residents who, after their experience last Saturday night,are convinced that there must be something in the 'flying saucer' mystery after allThey are Mr Max Mann, Mr. Jack Kay, and Mrs J. Jones, who saw a strange light

in the sky above the town at about ten minutes to midnight."Mr Mann, in describing the phenomenon this morning, said that the object

was first sighted by Mr. Kay high in the sky in a northwesterly direction The three

witnesses were standing in front ofMr Mann's residence in McPherson Street.

Continuing, Mr Mann said: 'I looked up and saw a huge object, not unlike the un

der side of a saucer in shape, that was glowing with an orange-cream light, similarto a fluorescent light. The object seemed to come straight towards us, then hoveredin the sky at a height of 100 feet It remained hovering for approximately three

minutes, and then disappeared as if the light had suddenly been extinguished The

'saucer' appeared to be a huge thing, and from where we viewed it, it seemed to

measure about 10 feet across '"Mr Mann, who is now called the 'saucer man* by his workmates, is convinc

ed that the object was a 'flying sau

cer ' He said that he had always

been skeptical about reports in the

past but did not believe that he and

his two friends could all be mis

taken. His final comment was: *I

am receiving such a ragging from

my mates I wish I had never seen

the thing.'" (xx)

Late October. East Africa (no time)

A news dispatch from Nairobi informed the world"

"[There has been]... a deluge of [UFO] reports from scores of observers through

out East Africa, who claim to have seen * flying saucers.' These reports have flooded

newspaper offices in the three East African territories ofUganda, Kenya and Tanga

nyika Europeans, Asians and Africans have all variously claimed to have seen objects

in the sky stationary, zooming over the horizon, changing colour from white to red,

blue and green, elliptical in shape, and elongated with upright projections at either

end.

"First reports of'flying saucers' came from Dar-es-Salaam, capital of Tanga

nyika on the Indian Ocean coast, and were quickly followed by 'sightings' at Mom

basa, Kampala and this city Here, in Nairobi, citizens telephoned local police police

stations to say that they had spotted 'saucers' circling the suburbs More than one

police patrol car, sent to investigate, reported following the course ofthe 'mysterious

bright objects' in the sky Two Europeans on duty at the international airport here

observed an 'aerial object' through binoculars " (xx)

30 October Near Tapes, Brazil, (midnight)

"Playing with people "

Fontes wrote

95

" .Saturday, October 30, 1954, Flavio Rebelo, age 38, a well-educated, conserva

tive, responsible civilian government jobholder, was driving his car on a weekend trip

He worked for the State of Rio Grande do Sul Administration in Porto Alegre and has

an excellent reputation in that city, where he lives

"Early on that day [the 30th] he had decided to travel to the city ofTapes, wherehe owned a summer-resort His family was with him There was his wife, Use, and

his two sons (Luiz, age 15 and Paulo Antonio, age 10) They started toward Guaiba,

a nearby town, where they took the State road toward Tapes

"At midnight they reached the Guara hill, the highest place on the that road From

there Flavio, his wife and older son (the other was sleeping) sighted a strong light like

a star, but a lot larger It was far ahead and off to the west, but they lost it when they

started to go down the hill. Soon they arrived at the plain and the road was now a

straight line through a deserted extent of level country.

"They were riding along when they saw two lights approaching from Tapes. Re-

belo thought they could be the headlights ofanother car traveling their way, returning

from Tapes But soon he noticed that they seemed to go off the road, entering into the

country beside it That observation troubled him a little for he knew that no car could

travel off the road in that area. But he didn't stop his car. It could be, perhaps, a tractor

starting a night's work, he thought A few minutes later he noticed that two more lights

had appeared behind the first ones. This time he was surprised, but still not alarmed

There was something strange in those lights, but still they could belong to tractors, two

tractors working together He kept driving on.

"The lights kept getting closer, steadily growing in size. The night was dark, no

stars could be seen through the clouds that covered the sky. A strong wind was blow

ing They came still nearer He kept driving on and watching those yellow-white lights

"When they looked to be only a kilometer away, his curiosity increased because

their size was getting very big He slowed down to see better The lights were soon

going to cross his path, passing on the nght side of road and a some distance away fromit.

"Suddenly, when the lights appeared to be about 300 meters off to the right of the

car, they began to change their color. They took on at first a bluish hue, then they

changed to violet, becoming next an orange; and lastly a fiery red like burning charcoal.

When they changed from an orange to a fiery red color, the Rebelos were passing just

in front ofthem. This time Flavio was startled, and stopped the car to watch the strange

scene with his wife and his older son. 'This change of colors was not abrupt, like a mere

substitution ofa light by another ofdifferent hue'—the Rebelos said later in their report.

'It developed softly, like some kind of fusion ofhues and tints or the slow mixing of different dyes,' they claimed.

"What happened next, according to Mr. Rebelo's written report, follows below

" 'About the time the lights started to change from color to another, it was the only

time I had a glimpse ofa shape behind those lights. To be more precise, when they

changed from orange to red, we noticed some kind of a spherically-shaped dome, a hugeone. At that moment I thought it looked like a house burning. But the vision disappeared

after a few seconds. Only the lights remained, glowing in the darkness, motionless Now

all ofthem were red, a fiery red, like incandescent charcoal They were definitely round-

shaped and sharply outlined, like a porthole light They hovered at about two meters

above the ground The oddest thing was that they didn't project a beam of light, like a

96

searchlight Quite the reverse They were not reflected by the car surface, nor did they

illuminate the ground [an important point to remember]. Fascinated, we watched that

uncanny scene from our car stopped beside the road.

" 'But that was not all Suddenly the lights, now in line with each other, started to

move slowly toward the road, and toward our car. At the same time, they were pulling

away from each other as if trying to surround the spot where we were. I froze where I

stood, getting the horrible feeling of a trapped animal The lights closed in quietly, the

glow growing steadily in size, the one ahead apparently to block our only, way of escape.

We saw them getting bigger and bigger, now larger than one meter in diameter They

were unlike anything that I knew, something inexplicable in terms ofpast experience

The color was wonderful and the light, although strong, was not dazzling That moment

I confess I lost any power ofreasoning I had to run away. I was hypnotized and stood

still, watching the slow and purposeful approach of those 'things ' But at the very mo

ment they were almost over us I regained my consciousness because of my wife. She

was wild with fear, crying and squeezing my arm painfully, imploring me to get away

from there Then I started the car in a frenzy and drove away from that place as fast as I

could I was so nervous I would hardly be able to start driving on, again, if the motor

quit at that moment.'

"As the car was running away at top speed down the road, the Rebelos looked back

and saw the lights change color to a very bright white, then grow dimmer and dimmer,

and finally switch off. This happened at about 28 kilometers away from Tapes

"When the car was coming near Tapes, at about two kilometers from it, they sighted

a light again, now hovering just ahead of their car It was silvery-white and very bright

and stood motionless—not on the ground as before—but above it, about five hundred

meters high Mr. Rebelo then stopped the car to calm down his frightened wife He told

her they were quite near the city and could observe the 'phenomenon' with no danger

The light grew in size. It was now like 'polished metal reflecting the sunlight and ap

parently larger than a full moon ' After a few minutes a similar light appeared at a point

about two kilometers away from the first one (to the left of it). This one was also high in

the sky, and was moving slowly towards the other light It approached and stopped at

about 500 meters from it—at some distance from the car

"Mr Rebelo wanted to watch the 'things' a little more, whatever they were, but his

youngest son, Paulo Antonio, now awake, started to cry when he saw the two lights hover

ing in mid-air. He was, ofcourse, scared Then—considering that they had enough for the

night, that he was alone with his wife and kids in that deserted place, watching strange and

frightening events; and that his family was badly shaken—Mr. Rebelo decided to get away

as fast as possible. He drove off.

"This time the lights remained motionless and unchanged, even when the car passed

just under them Soon the lights faded into the darkness and the Rebelos finally entered

the sleeping city ofTapes." (xx.)

(xx.) Fontes' personal notes, donated by Robert Gribble, now in the author's files

This "credible" close encounter was something eerie to Fontes, and well as to the Brazilian

military The subsequent investigation, by the press and the Brazilian Air Force, during the

following weeks make even better reading. Fontes even had to ask himself "Did they want to

take specimens7"

31 October Lages, Brazil (8 00 p m)

"Disc-shaped glowing object"

Fontes wrote

"By the night of October 31, 1954 two more 'Unknowns' were reported. The first

one had been sighted at 8:00 p m. over the city of Lages, Santa Catanna State, by a

farmer (Mr Libeno Shamedec) and his relatives It was a 'disc-shaped glowing object,'

that came from the east, hovered silently over the city for a few minutes, and finally dis

appeared toward the south, at great speed. The sighting was immediately reported to the

Flonanopohs (the capital ofthe state of Santa Catanna) Air Base " (xx.)

(xx ) Fontes' personal notes, donated by Robert Gribble, now in the author's files

31 October Porto Alegre, Brazil (8'30 p m)

"Glowing disc-shaped object"

Fontes wrote

w Half an hour later, the same (or another) UFO appeared over Porto Alegre,

Rio Grande do Sul State. It hovered over the city for about fifteen minutes and

was watched, from several places, by a number ofpersons. It was described as a

'glowing, disc-shaped object—apparent size about like a dime at arm's length—

emitting a very bright yellow-light.' The Air Force was alerted and several jet

fighters were scrambled to try and run up to it. They climbed up to twelve thou

sand meters but they could do nothing to it—the strange craft was still higher

For a time, it stood motionless in the sky, watching the futile attempts made by

our fighters to get in [?] its path [At this early date, Fontes accepted the EHT

theory without much reservation and his writings reflect that. Fontes wrote like

Keyhoe Here, for instance, the UFO is a "craft" that was "watching" futile at

tempts. A serious UFO researcher would like more evidence the report was

about true alien ship, and if it was, what the pilots of the machine were thinking

would be just a guess] Then, it seemed to lose patience and, with its usual un

expected readiness, it suddenly rushed up into the night and was gone. And no

one heard any sound come from it

"The Air Force got a flood of queries from the press, as soon as they heard

about this sighting But the reporters and writers were unceremoniously sloughed

off—the Air Force wasn't divulging any more information about the case A

security lid came down tight around it " (xx.)
