September 27, 1954, Figeac, Lot:

Reference for this case: 27-sep-54-Figeac.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.

Summary:

Here is a so-called "encounter of the third kind" which is worth its weight in gold by its contradictions and its suspicious treatment by ufologists of both "sides".

As for the press at the time, there was reportedly an article on this affair in the local weekly newspaper La Vie Quercynoise, of Cahors, on page 1 for October 2, 1954.

But I found that as early as September 30, 1954, the matter was mentioned - with little seriousness - in the national newspaper Paris-Presse.

This newspaper said that schoolchildren in the Lot claimed to have seen a Martian in a red jumpsuit "yesterday", near Figeac, while they were going to school.

The children would have reported: "- He spoke to us, but we did not understand what he was saying..." The Martian reportedly descended towards a meadow below the road from Figeac to Cahors, and the children reportedly saw him climb into a small craft which rose vertically, which they described: "It was a craft that resembled a box."

Ufologically, the case begins with Jacques Vallée, cataloging the "UFO landings", whom as often gives the source as "Personal"; which should not be understood as a personal knowledge of the case but that the case comes from some newsclipping he read. In another edition he clarified, a little, the source as "La Vie Quercyssoise".

He summarizes by saying that on September 27, 1954, at 8:40 a.m. in Figeac in the Lot in France, children saw "a box" and "an unknown" who stood next to it. The object took off.

Garreau and Lavier, also cataloging the "UFO landings" in France, will give the same version of the most succinct. And countless ufologists did the same and still do.

In 1979, the time of the "new ufology" in France when many "believers" took a "skeptical" position, two of them, Gérard Barthel and Jacques Brucker, published their book "La Grande Peur Martienne" claiming that all ufological events in France in 1954, if not all in the world, are only mistakes, stupidities, and hoaxes.

They deal with this case, recalled on the basis of Jacques Vallée, ironizing that "nothing is spared to ufologists amateurs of 'Martian' anatomy."

They complained about the poverty of the information and ensured that it was difficult for them to find the witnesses, but by questioning all the people responsible of the schools of the city - the city of Figeac, therefore - they found the lady teacher of the time who told them how the children had made a hoax; and that the story had been told in "La Vie Quercyssoise".

Author Jean Sider published a book in 1997 which was supposed to "rehabilitate" the 1954 wave by demonstrating that the "counter-investigations" of Barthel and Brucker were just a dishonest joke.

He marks a first point noting that the press source is not "La Vie Quercyssoise", but "La Vie Quercynoise". He marks a second point, more importantly, when he notes that as the encounter took place in Ceint-d'Eau, 5 kilometers from Figeac, one wonders what "teacher lady" Barthel and Brucker had found in Figeac. It was in Ceint-d'Eau, where there is only one school, and finding the witnesses there takes a few minutes because everyone knows each other in this tiny village.

He refers to another counter-investigation by ufologists of the "Lumières Dans La Nuit" group, including one "R. Chéreau". They, he said, had found the "true" lady teacher. She had been "skeptical", saying that the children had made a prank; but the LDLN investigators would have found the two girls, now adults and mothers, who would have confirmed their story entirely.

Jean Sider gives no source or date for this counter-investigation; it was undoubtedly never published and he must have heard from it by his colleague R. Chéreau; he nevertheless gives what would be the account published in La Vie Quercynoise, of Cahors, for October 2, 1954, page 1:

On September 27, at 8:40 a.m. in Ceint-d'Eau, commune of Figeac, the Lot, two girls were going to school when suddenly they saw in a meadow along the road a little man dressed of red and speaking in an unknown language. Frightened, they fled. Arlette R..., looking back, then saw a curious "box" fly into the sky. The gendarmes reportedly opened an investigation.

According to the LDLN investigation, it was learned moreover that Arlette V... specified that she had approached to within three meters the small character and then ran away frightened. She had seen the "box" fly away vertically.

Jean Sider, after explaining that Barthel and Brucker had not found the "true" teacher, does not hide that this "real" teacher, Madeleine T., who would have been found by the LDLN group, would have expressed "skepticism" about the story. He explains this skepticism, without laughing: she was "probably the victim of a conceptual block".

So far, the case seemed quite wobbly, with more controversies impossible to decide than details about the craft and its occupant...

In 2004, an astronomy magazine, Ciel et Espace, mentioned a plan to shut down the "SEPRA"; which was at the time the modest service of the French National Center for Space Studies supposed to explain the phenomena of "atmospheric re-entries". I published a small alert; which met some success, inviting the said SEPRA not to put its archive in the fire as it had been done in another country, but to anonymize their documents and make them available to interested researchers.

As of 2005, the SEPRA became GEIPAN and started to do just this, and around 2014 the first documents for the year 1954 appeared, including those about this case, basically the report of the gendarmes. This was a much more complete report than that of Jacques Vallée, and quite different from that of Jean Sider and that of Barthel and Brucker:

On September 27, 1954, at approximately 7 p.m., Mr. [X], schoolteacher in Ceint-d'Eau, near Figeac, telephoned the Commandant of the Figeac gendarmerie brigade that three children from his school had seen on their to the school this very day, around nine o'clock in the morning, on the edge of the departmental road 13 at 1 kilometer east of Ceint-d'Eau, a strange individual who would then have flown away in a mysterious craft.

The brigade of Figeac had immediately arrived at the place, but "could not obtain any desirable precisions."

The next morning the Captain commanding the section went to the school of Ceint-d'Eau, where, in the presence of the teacher, he heard the three children separately.

They all said they had traveled together on September 27, 1954, both in the morning to go to the School, and at noon to return home, and then they gave their stories:

The first child, a 10-year-old girl, said that at that date, at approximately 8:40 a.m., on her way to the school of Ceint-d'Eau by the Departmental Road 13, a few hundred meters from her home 1 km east of Ceint-d'Eau, she encountered a man of a size of 1m20 to 1m30, bare-headed, wearing a red suit, holding a rifle, who skirted the ditch and fired a gunshot. The girl said she noticed a kind of crate, a cube about 1 meter of side, without more precision, in the middle of a meadow bordering the road. Then, frightened by the shot, she ran away with her comrades.

Towards noon on returning from school and passing at the same place, she saw the same individual joining his crate and "fly away" at great speed. She was unable to give a description of the take-off.

The second child, an eight-and-a-half-year-old girl, said that about 8:40 on the same day, going to school, she noticed at the place designated by the first child an individual about 0.5 meters tall who carried by hand a small box of 30 to 40 cm of side. This man fired a gunshot, the girl assuring that she "saw the lead behind"... Then the man "left in his box by flying fast."

At noon, when the other girl assured that she saw the same individual join his "box" in the meadow and "fly away" at a high speed, the second girl saw nothing.

The Captain pointed out that when he asked her if she was sure that the individual was wearing a red suit, she said "Yes" because the other girl "told me."

The third child, brother of one of the girls, said simply that he had not seen anything at all.

The Captain had gone to the spot where the individual and his "box" had been seen, but his scrutiny did not reveal any clue or traces of any kind.

The Captain pointed out that the facts told by the children were not noticed by anyone in the vicinity. The deputy prefect of Figeac himself had passed unexpectedly at the scene around 8:30 a.m. and had noticed nothing abnormal.

He adds that the facts were recounted by the regional press, but in a version not at all corresponding to those he collected from the children. He concludes that their statements "make it possible to judge the credit that must be given to them."

As we see, it is a rather different story: the missing details are due to the fact that the girls cannot tell anything more precise; a third child, present, never mentioned before, had seen nothing; the girls contradict each other about the moment of the departure of the "box", towards 8:40 a.m. for the one and at noon returning from the school for the other; the box is posed in a meadow for the one and carried to the hand by the man for the other; the box is 1 meter wide for one and 30 to 40 centimeters wide for the other; the red color of the "man's" outfit is certain for one girl "because" the other told her so; the man, bareheaded, is certainly a man rather than an extraterrestrial but he is more than one meter tall for one girl and 50 centimeters tall for the other.

As for the famous "lady teacher" Barthel and Brucker claimed to have found, while the LDLN investigators find "another", the "true" lady teacher, she must have changed sex... Or alternatively: these two "counter-investigations" were both imaginary.

They add that with so little information it was difficult to them to find the witnesses but by questioning all the persons in charge of the schools of the city they found that the female teacher of the time told them how the children had performed a hoax; and that the history however had been told in the "Vie Quercyssoise".

[Ref. jsr1:] JEAN SIDER:

Jean Sider indicates that the counter-investigation by Barthel and Brucker on the case in Figeac, the Lot, actually Ceint-d'Eau, is "imaginary."

Jean Sider states further on that in the case of Figeac in the Lot, on page 83, Barthel and Brucker said: "On 27 September around 08:40 a.m., children in Figeac (Lot) saw a" box" and a "unknown" who stood at its side. The object took off".

They referred to Jacques Vallée while quoting La Vie Quercyssoise as the contemporary source; which they likely did not read because the real name of this weekly was "La Vie Quercynoise!"

In its October 2 issue, page 1, the following article appeared:

"On the morning of September 27, children who went to the school of Ceint-d'Eau, a commune of Figeac, saw, they say, a mysterious little man dressed in red, who spoke incomprehensibly. They were frightened and fled, and soon they saw a box-like machine rise in the sky. The Gendarmerie reportedly opened an investigation."

Jean Sider then evokes "the alleged counter-investigation of our duet", Barthel and Brucker:

"It is evident that with so little detail, in a town that is not minuscule, the witnesses of this strange event are hard to find. The only way left to us was to systematically interview those in charge of the schools of the city, to awaken a possible memory... It was done... The teacher of the time told us how the children had set up a hoax..."

Jean Sider notes that B and B may have relied entirely on Jacques Vallée, who pointed to Figeac as the city where the affair occurred, but it was 5km from this town in the village of Ceint-d'Eau. So he wonders how they could have found the teacher. He notes that they do not even give her name; that there is only one school in Ceint-d'Eau, not several.

He adds that researchers, including R. Chéreau, had found the teacher (the real one), Madeleine T., and the two young girls who had grown up, who confirmed the incident, Ms. Arlette R ..., wife V ..., and Nicole L ..., wife L ..., who all requested anonymity.

Mrs. Arlette V ... pointed out that she had approached three meters from the little character, that she had fled in fear, and that looking back to see if she was pursued she saw the "box" fly away vertically. Jean Sider notes that ten minutes were enough for his colleagues to locate the witnesses, since Ceint-d'Eau is tiny and everyone knows everyone.

He concludes that it is still a pseudo-counter-investigation by B and B that is now denounced.

Further on, he catalogues the case: "September 27, 08:40, Ceint-d'Eau, Figeac, Lot."

He says that two girls were going to school when suddenly they saw in a roadside meadow a little man dressed in red speaking in an unfamiliar language. Frightened, they fled. Arlette R ..., looking back, then saw a curious "box" fly into the sky.

He indicates that the sources are La Vie Quercynoise, of Cahors, for October 2, 1954, page 1; and the LDLN counter-investigation.

He notes that during this LDLN counter-investigation, the teacher of the time had expressed skepticism about the incident, "probably victim of a conceptual block", and that, on the other hand, the two witnesses who became adults and mothers of family maintained the version of the story in its entirety.

[Ref. jgs1:] JEAN-FRANCOIS GILLES:

French ufologist Jean-François Gilles had established a computerized catalogue of landings on the French territory between September 26 and October 18, 1954 in order to study if their geographical distribution were the fact of the chance or not.

ICOD is an internal code of this listing. (57) refers to column 57 of the Condon group's computerized UFOCAT, where RF is France and the number is the department. jve4 and jve1 are case numbers in Jacque Vallée's Magonia listing and "Passport to Magonia" book. CE2, CE3 refers to the Hynek classification.

V, F, G are codes for people who determined the coordinates: V = Jacques Vallée, ufologist, F = Jean Charles Fumoux, officer of the French Air Force, G = Jean François Gille, ufologist.

The author indicates that there was a close encounter of the third kind at Figeac, Ceint-d'Eau, in the Lot, on September 27, 1954, at 8:40 a.m.:

Two schoolgirls, Arlette R. and Nicole L. went to the school of Ceint-d'Eau when they suddenly saw in a meadow by the roadside a mysterious little man dressed in red who spoke in an incomprehensible manner.

They were frightened and fled. Shortly afterwards, they reportedly saw a box-like machine rise in the sky.

Julien Gonzalez added that the Gendarmerie reportedly opened an investigation into this observation.

He indicates that in 1979, Barthel and Brucker stated in La Grande Peur Martienne that they had met "the teacher of the time" who told them how the children had made a hoax; but in 1997, in Le dossier 1954 et l'imposture rationaliste, Jean Sider indicates that a counter-investigation was carried out by researchers including R. Chéreau, who found the "true" teacher, Madeleine T., and the two daughters of the time, who became adults, confirmed the incident: Mrs. Arlette R., wife V., and Nicole L., wife L. They both requested anonymity.

Mrs. Arlette V. pointed out that she had approached within three meters of the little being, and that she had fled in fear, and that, looking back to see if she was being pursued, she saw the "box" fly away vertically.
