In 1997, the ufologist and author Jean Sider reports that he learned from an article in the newspaper Le Courrier Républicain, of Roanne, for October 21, 1954, on page 12, that on October 13, 1954, at 08:30 p.m., a shopkeeper who drove by car in the sector of Neulise, in the Loire, arrived 2 km from Neulise, at a place called La Plate-Forme.
There, appeared from behind a grove on the hill, a luminous globe moved at low altitude. He stopped his vehicle to better observe the phenomenon; which landed in a field not far from the road and left a few seconds later towards the north.
