The 1954 French flap:

"SAUCERS"
ON THE SIDES
OF OUR REGION

Numerous witnesses, residents of municipalities in the regions of Bray-sur-Seine, Lagny, Moret, Thoméry, stated they saw, at nightfall, a strange phenomenon: an oval shaped object, yellow orange in color, measuring more than 20 meters, at 300 or 400 meters of altitude.

The craft remained motionless for a while and disappeared at breakneck speed.

Other appearances of strange craft were reported throughout France and especially on the coasts of our region.

The day before yesterday evening, around 7:30 p.m., various people noted the presence above Boulogne and the surrounding area, of a mysterious craft.

This object was heading in a steady direction, that is to say coming from the sea heading for Desvres. It looked like fireworks according to all witnesses.

This craft was seen at around the same time on Boulogne, Outreau and Desvres.

Around 8 p.m., Mme Decobert-Delhaye, residing at Vieille-Rue, in Audruicq, was in her kitchen when she heard an unusual noise resembling a pendulum ticking. Immediately she went out into the courtyard and was amazed to see in the sky, in the direction of Nortkerque, at a very low height, a ball of fire in multiple colors.

Frightened, she went home and, through the window, noticed that the ball remained motionless. A few moments later, she clearly saw the ball heading towards Calais.

Other people also noticed the passage of this phenomenon at the same time.

In the sky of Le Touquet, at 7:15 p.m., a round and very shiny craft appeared. Its color was yellow-red, it looked like a plate. This object was followed by a trail, also very bright, whose length was about 2.5 times its diameter.

Coming from the sea, it was moving at a dizzying speed towards the East and it disappeared very quickly in front of the observers.

ANOTHER ONE!

Thursday evening, around 7:30 p.m., members of the staff of the Aciéries de Paris-Outreau clearly saw, coming from the direction of the sea, then flying over Outreau, a luminous craft of circular shape. Some have even distinguished a sort of dome in the central region.

The craft emitted a very bright light and was followed by a trail of bluish flame.

Around 7:40 p.m., a Boulogne fishmonger, who, by car, was driving on the Wimereux road near the "Moulin Wibert" saw an identical phenomenon, rather low above the sea, formed by a very bright bulge, followed by a scintillating trail, the length of which he estimated at nearly a hundred meters.

The testimonies also agree that the mysterious craft which apparently spun at the speed of a jet plane was absolutely silent.
