Summary:

In the 1970's, a regional catalog of the INFO-OVNI bulletin contained a case of 1954, without more precse date, about an unusual case in Villebret, coming from a "personal investigation" probably by ufologist Jean Giraud.

A Mrs. Piat felt, by a breath and heat, a small ball of fire that rose and passed to her right ear, coming from behind her, before crashing without a trace on a wall a few meters in front of her.

Reports:

[Ref. ioi2:] MAGAZINE "INFO-OVNI":

This sounds furiously like a ball lightning phenomenon.
