Summary: Michel Toutain was driving his moped towards Blanville when it suddenly stops and does not advance; seemingly stuck in inertia, in spite of all the efforts by Michel the moped did not budge. He checks the engine and then notices about 500 meters to his right, a luminous object, resembling a red sphere, with a green upper section resembling the lid on a boiler. He sees a cockpit with four silhouettes standing inside. A light within the cockpit turns on at first becoming green, then pink and as the object disappears gaining altitude it becomes white and then blue. As the object disappears from a sight, a luminous ball seems to detach itself from it and travels in a different direction. A second witness, Mr. Josse saw the object depart.

Suddenly Dewilde saw a disc-shaped object on the ground on some nearby railroad tracks, about 50 meters away. Walking cautiously towards the craft Dewilde noticed a rectangular shaped aperture at the base of the cupola and a row of windows. Several humanoids stood around the object. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, approached Dewilde and his son, while they stood several meters from the craft. The humanoid (leader) was about 1.20m in height, and wore a helmet equipped with a transparent faceplate. His facial features were Asiatic. He had a protruding chin and pointed cheeks, the hair was jet-black in color its eyes were brown and its skin was bronzed. In a friendly gesture the humanoid caressed Dewilde’s son, whom Dewilde was carrying in his arms, the humanoid then tapped Dewilde on his back several times, smiling as he did and then pronounced several unintelligible words. Immediately afterwards the humanoid grabbed a chicken, which he gave to one of the other humanoids. The humanoid again caressed Dewilde’s son and slapped Dewilde’s back and then climbed onboard the object.

Summary: Yvonne S, on her way to work on foot, saw a luminous white sphere descend from the sky and hover over her pathway on a hillside, about 70 meters ahead and 50 meters above the ground. She could see inside, as though the walls were transparent, two human forms like men dressed in one piece suits, one larger than the other. The object shot off at great speed, and then returned to the same spot; it did this once more, at which time Yvonne was only 50 meters distant, then sped away for good. When she passed by the spot over which the object had hovered, she was greatly frightened. She arrived at work in a highly agitated state. 48 hours later she was required to see a physician, who prescribed a sedative for her. A few days later, the woman’s toenails had begun to dry and harden, and subsequently fell off. Those on her left foot were particularly affected. The malady, which remained a mystery to doctors, persisted for the next 20 years.

Summary: 13-year old Gilbert Lelay was walking around outside, about half a mile away from his parent’s home when he saw, in a pasture, a machine he described as a “phosphorescent cigar.” Close to the object was a man wearing a gray suit, boots and a gray hat. In a familiar gesture, the man put his hand on Gilbert’s shoulder and told him in French: “Look but don’t touch.” In his other hand, the man held a sphere from which purple rays were emitted. Shortly thereafter, he climbed aboard the craft and shut the door with a clapping sound. Gilbert had time to something like a control console with numerous colored lights on it.

Summary: A group of young boys, including one name Bastian, had been playing in a field and were now returning home. Bastian had briefly stopped to tie his shoelaces when he heard the others yelling in apparent fright. Looking up he saw a few hundred meters in the sky, above the fir trees, a very large round object, hovering motionless, or oscillating slightly over their heads. Initially immobilized by fear the boys now run and hide behind a coppice of young oaks, in which they hide lying on the ground. There was a strange quiet in the area, even the birds were silent. Slowly the object began to descend until it remained about 1 meter above the ground. The object was silvery in color, smooth, with several small windows around its circumference. On top it had what appeared to be a glass-like cupola. Suddenly three small humanoids appeared outside the object, no one sees them coming out of it. They resembled Dwarfin (Dwarfs) and are about 1.20 m in height, wearing gray-green combination diver suits, topped with a huge round helmet with an opaque glass visor, which obscured their faces. As night fell one of the boys attempted to get up and flee but was suddenly struck down by an unseen force, making his legs tremble. Surprised, the humanoids look in their direction and boarded the object, which then began to oscillate. The object turns red in color and disappears in plain sight.

Summary: Multiple witnesses, including Nurse Maria Vanoli and driver Gianni Rossi, heard a noise similar to an airplane engine. Immediately they saw two saucers, each “as larger as a bicycle wheel.” These saucers emitted a bluish light, seemingly more intense around their periphery. At the center of each of the objects, there was an illuminated “pole” piercing them vertically from one edge to the other. The UFOs flew at an altitude of about 150/200m, dispersing a sort of fiery screen about them. Suddenly both objects descended, nearly touching and scorching the tops of some pine trees. Rossi claimed to have observed a “dark human shaped mass” tearing away from the first of the saucers. This appeared to be a small male a “dwarf”.

Lourdel, were driving a truck on Route 216, just outside Vauchelles-les-Domart, when a bright light that passed over the road and landed beyond a small thicket on the other side of a freshly ploughed field dazzled them.

Summary: A satirist, Paolo Cutizi, and a writer Guilio Emery, were in a local park when they witnessed a strange fluorescent mass still completing its ascent, about 20 meters away from a building. The mass emitted some violet colored flashes of light. Though the men were afraid, they approached the apparition while concealing themselves behind some brush. They observed a disc at approximately 40 meters distance from them. This had a diameter of about 6 meters and a very tall illuminated antenna; this was so high that the men were unable to see where it terminated. The disc also sported a tiny ladder which touched the ground. A few minutes thereafter, two 1.2 meters tall, robot like figures descended from the object, they uttered strange metallic sounds and gave off a dark red light.
