A US website indicated in the 2000's that according to ufologist Jacques Vallée's computerized catalog, on October 23, 1954, at 03:00 p.m., on the National Road N113, near Nimes, "An unidentified object was sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation. One object was observed by two witnesses for 20 minutes."
By 2016, a German UFO website noted the same sighting but dropped the source and the mention that the object would probably have a conventional explanation.

The website indicates that on 23 October 1954 at 15:00 on the N113, near Nimes, France, "An unidentified object was sighted, but with appearance and behavior that most likely would have a conventional explanation. One object was observed by two witnesses for 20 minutes."
The source is indicated as "Vallee, Jacques, Computerized Catalog (N = 3073)".
