[Ref. omn1:] "L'OISE MATIN" NEWSPAPER:

[Ref. gen1:] GENDARMERIE NATIONALE:

[Ref. cjl1:] CORAL AND JIM LORENZEN:

The authors indicate that a mass sighting of an object took place at about 8:40 P.M. on the night of October 18 in Fontenay-Forcy [Torcy], France, where a man and his wife saw a glowing cigar-shaped object of a reddish color in flight. It suddenly dived toward them and landed not far from the road but hidden from sight by the surrounding brush. The couple walked to the top of a hill. Where they found themselves face-to-face with a human-shaped being about three feet tall, who wore a helmet. The "eyes" appeared to glow an orange color. One of the witnesses lost consciousness. Four other witnesses reported observing the machine in flight at the same time as the couple from another location. A third group of independent witnesses in Sanson-la-Poterie observed the craft as it flew away at high speed, and low altitude, illuminating the countryside.

[Ref. cpr1:] CLAUDE POHER, UFO RESEARCH GROUP "GEPA":

In 1968-1969, before the official GEPAN ufology effort started, its future head Dr Claude Poher was a member of the unofficial GEPA ufology group, and gathered a computer coded listing of more than 700 UFO reports on which multiple factors statistical computation could be run. In the file were a number of 1954 French UFO reports, among those this one.

For readability, a decoded interpretation of the data is provided here under the original 80 character encoded string. Decoding was done according to the original indications, the code number and its generic meaning is given. Please not that the generic meaning of each code is a predefined category, not the real specific details of the case. For example, if the main witness' age was 33, the coding would result in a number "3" which corresponds to a category "Adult from 21 to 59 years."

[Ref. jve2:] JACQUES VALLEE:

The author indicates that on October 18, 1954 in Fontenay-Torcy, a man and his wife reported that they had seen a red object in the shape of a cigar in the sky. The object suddenly dove towards them while leaving a reddish trail behind, and landed behind bushes.

When the witnesses reached the ridge of a hill, they were face to face with "a corpulent individual, of human appearance", but of only one meter in height. The individual carried a helmet and his eyes shone of an orange gleam. One of the two witnesses fainted.

The author adds that four people saw this object flying away from another place and a third group of witnesses in Sanson-la-Poterie, another city, saw "the crew flying away" at "an extraordinary speed" in direction of the west and the countryside was illuminated on an extent of two kilometers.

[Ref. gal1:] CHARLES GARREAU AND RAYMOND LAVIER:

The authors indicate that on October 18, 1954, at 08:45 in the Oise in Fontenay-Torcy, a cyclist, Mrs. Lherminier, travels on country road 133 towards Saint-Samson-la-Poterne. Within 500 meters of Fontenay, she sees a luminous craft coming from the west and moving towards the east. Mrs. Lherminier evaluates its altitude as 200 meters. It has the shape of a long cigar of 3 to 4 meters. At its front, a white headlight which illuminates the area on a surface from 3 to 4 square kilometers. At its back, a red trail. It seems to be illuminated on its circumference. It goes down vertically, like an elevator, and lands in a meadow. Although impressed, Mrs. Lherminier continues riding her bicycle. She still rides 300 meters approximately. On the side of the road, she then sees a strange being. It is hardly 1 meter tall. It wears a leather jacket with a drill plate which has brilliant reflections. Its face is black. It is capped with a helmet and is squat.

Mrs. Lherminier passes less than 10 meters near the small being. She receives something like an electric discharge at the time when it stares at her with its two luminous eyes. Her legs seem suddenly paralyzed. She has much trouble to go on pedaling to move away.

[Ref. agd1:] ALAIN GAMARD:

[Ref. prn1:] PETER ROGERSON:

[Ref. hjn1:] HENRI JULIEN:

The author indicates that there are cases with "Bibendum", the exact counterpart of the character which symbolized a tire brand, seen for example on October 18, 1954 in Fontenay (Oise) and in November 1954 between Avesne and Louvroie (Maubeuge). This humanoid has rolls around the arms. He is small (less than one meter), stocky, wears a helmet as broad as his shoulders. He was observed at a distance of four meters.

[Ref. tbw1:] TED BLOECHER AND DAVID WEBB:

[Ref. fru1:] MICHEL FIGUET AND JEAN-LOUIS RUCHON:

The two authors indicate that on October 18, 1954 in Fontenay-Torcy Mr. and Mrs. Lherminier "or M. A. Vasseur and his wife" according to "Le Parisien Libéré", a brick-maker and his wife, ride bicycles on the D13, according to Jacques Vallée, or, according to Charles Garreau, Mrs. Lherminier rides a bicycle.

They or she saw a luminous cigar, from 3 to 4 meters long with at its from a white headlight which illuminates the area on 3 or 4 square kilometers and goes down towards them. It has a red trail at the back and seems illuminated on the circumference. It descends vertically like an elevator and lands in a meadow.

When they or she reaches the top of a hill, they or she faces an individual of human appearance, stocky, one meter tall, wearing a leather jacket with a shining drill plate, a helmet, and having luminous eyes shining of an orange gleam.

Mrs. Lherminier, when she passes less than 10 meters from the being, gets like an electric shock when the being stares at her, and her legs seem suddenly paralyzed. According to Charles Garreau she had trouble pedalling. One of the two witnesses [?] lost consciousness, according to Jacques Vallée.

In Samson-the-Pottery, a third [?] group of witnesses saw the apparatus flying away in the direction of the west, and the countryside was illuminated on an area of two kilometers.

The authors mention four other witnesses at another place, and footstep traces of the being.

The author indicates that on October 18, 1954, in Fontenay-Torcy, France, a man and his wife reported that they saw a red cigar-shaped object in the sky. It suddenly dove towards them, leaving a reddish trail, landed behind a bush. They reached the top of a hill and they found themselves confronted by a bulky individual, of human appearance but only 3 feet tall. It was wearing a helmet, its eyes glowed of an orange light. One of the couple lost consciousness. Four other people saw the object in flight from another spot, a third group of independent witnesses in Sanson-la-Poterie, another town, saw the craft fly West at a tremendous speed. The countryside was illuminated over an area of one to two miles wide.

[Ref. jve9:] JACQUES VALLEE:

As an example of a case which he claims would show that the occupants of UFOs are not extraterrestrials but "inhabitants of another reality" like the alves of the old times, Jacques Vallée indicates:

[Ref. lgs2] LOREN GROSS:

[Ref. lgs1:] LOREN GROSS:

[Ref. krs1:] KEVIN RANDLE AND RUSS ESTES:

The authors indicate that on October 18, 1954, in Fontenay-Forey [sic], France, a couple watched a cigar-shaped craft as it suddenly dived toward the ground. The couple approached it and saw a being about 3 feet tall. Its eyes seemed to glow orange. Four other witnesses reported watching the red-glowing cigar in flight.

[Ref. jsr1:] JEAN SIDER:

The author indicates that on October 18, 1954 to 20:45 between Fontenay and Héricourt and Saint-Samson-la-Poterie, Mr. and Mrs. André Vasseur are on bicycle on the D113, and see a luminous cigar which seemed to land behind a hedge.

When they reached the top of a gentle slope, that Jean Sider thinks probably hid the landing spot, they suddenly distinguished on the edge of the road a being, about 1 meter tall, stocky, but of human form.

It carried a very curious helmet which appeared to enter in the shoulders, and from its eyes, a beam of orange light came out, directed towards the witnesses.

Mrs. Vasseur yelled, lost consciousness and fell, her husband took her up, and the couple fled as good as they could. Arrived at their house, they lost appetite and sleep.

The Gendarmerie, and inspector Dejean of the Renseignements Generaux [Intelligence], came to the place the next day, and found at a few meters of the place, only two round traces, a few centimeters deep, and nothing else.

The investigation indicated that Mr. Vasseur is a sober and perfectly balanced worker.

Jean Sider indicates that other named witnesses saw the cigar-shaped object the same evening at the same hour and in the same area.

He indicates that the source is the Oise-Matin, of Compiègne, for October 20, 1954 on page 10, and that Michel Figuet indicates different effects and different witnesses names.

The Belgian ufologist indicates that in 1954, on October 18, in France, in Fontenay Torcy at "20:40 the Lherminiers couple saw an object in the shape of a red cigar, dive towards them by leaving behind a red trail and land close to the road. Once arrived at the top of the hill they were face to face with a thick human silhouette, approximately 1 mr high. This creature wore a helmet and its eyes emitted an orange gleam. One of the witnesses faints. Four other people saw this object in different places. The countryside was enlightened on 2 or 3 kilometers. "

[Ref. lcn1:] LUC CHASTAN:

Luc Chastan indicates that in the Oise in Fontenay Torcy on October 18, 1954 at 20:40 hours, "a couple rides by bicycle on D133. Little before the descent which precedes Héricourt-St-Samson, they see, a long luminous cigar from 3 to 4 meters, with at its front, a white headlight which lights the area on 3 to 4 square kilometers. At the back, a red trail. It seems illuminated on the circumference. It goes down towards them vertically like an elevator, and lands behind a hedge at a few hundreds of meters of the road."

"As they reach the ridge of a hill, the witnesses are face to face with a one meter tall individual, stocky, of human appearance. He wears a helmet, a leather jacket with a drill plate with brilliant reflections and his eyes shine of an orange gleam. The woman who saw him first yells, it seems to her that she received like an electric shock at the time when she sees herself stared at by two luminous eyes. Her legs seem to her suddenly paralyzed. She has much trouble to continue to pedal and fainted. The man makes her stand up and holding the two bicycles in the hand they flee. He looks back, the beam still follows them. The "small being" had not moved. Returned on their premises they could neither eat nor sleep. Two hours later the man still said he was 'broken up'."

"During the investigation, at a few meters of the indicated place, one found on the roadside two round and large prints of a few centimeters of diameter like footstep traces, but nothing very convincing."

[Ref. jgz1:] JULIEN GONZALEZ:

The author indicates that there was a close encounter of the third kind between Fontenay and Héricourt/Saint-Samson-the-Pottery, in the Oise, on October 18, 1954, at 08:45 p.m., witnessed by Mrs. and Mr. André Vasseur, 25-year-old, workman.

They went back home by bicycle, approaching the descent ahead of Héricourt-Saint-Sanson when their attention was drawn by a red gleam in the shape of a cigar, motionless in the sky at an important altitude.

The gleam suddenly dove towards the ground at a vertiginous speed while leaving behind it a red trail.

Arrived at the top of the hill, Mrs. Vasseur uttered a shout of fear: on the edge of the road, at a few centimetres of her handlebar, a strange being stared at her with an impressive glance. The being was of human form but squat, one meter tall approximately. It was capped with a helmet inserted on the shoulders. From its eyes a ray of light of orange color came out, directed towards the witnesses.

Terrified, Mrs. Vasseur lost consciousness. Her husband picked her upand they are fled as good as they could.

Back home, the couple could not eat and not sleep. Two hours later, Mr. Vasseur was still shaken. The next day, the gendarmes of Formerie, inspector Dejean of the General Intelligence and the rural policeman of Saint-Sanson went to the site, and within a few meters of the indicated place, they found on the side of the road two deep round prints a few centimetres in diameter.

The investigation made it possible to establish that other people, Misters Edmond Nantier, Dael and Lair, had observed a cigaroid object the same evening, at the same hour, and in the same sector.

Julien Gonzalez points out that many ufologists (C. Garreau, J. Vallée, M. Figuet) quoted this case with an erroneous name for the witnesses, Mrs. and Mr. Lherminier. Jean Sider found the article of Oise Matin for October 20, 1954, at the time of his research to the National Library was the first to rectify the error in his book "LE dossier 1954 et l'imposture rationaliste" published in 1997.
