It was reported that a group of residents of Pont-l'Evêque saw a flying saucer rising vertically at a vertiginous speed from a pasture at the edge of the national road connecting Pont-l'Evêque to Trouville, near the crossroads of the Trout in Saint-Martin-aux-Chartrains.

[Ref. uda1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:

The website indicates that on 21 October 1954 at 19:30 in St Martin-Aux-Chartrains, France, "Disc rises from roadside bushes." And: "An object was observed. It departed by rapidly flying straight up until lost to sight. One disc was observed by several witnesses in a rural area briefly."

The source is indicated as Hatch, Larry, *U* computer database, Author, Redwood City, 2002.

[Ref. nip1:] "THE NICAP WEBSITE":

Explanations:

Nothing here allows to discard that the "saucer" was the meteor of 07:15 p.m. that day.

When a meteor comes to witnesses from their horizon, it seems to ride in the sky.
