The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference for this case: 28-Oct-54-Tarbes.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
Two foreign ufology web catalogs report in the 2000s, without great detail, a sighting in Tarbes on October 28, 1954, at 07:30 p.m.. One of the sources says that it comes from the Jacques Vallée catalogue, that it was of the "Nocturnal Light(s)" type, and that the duration was "99 minutes".
[Ref. uda1:] "UFODNA" WEBSITE:
The website indicates that on 28 October 1954 at 19:30 in Tarbes, France, "Nocturnal lights were reported for 99 minutes."
The source is indicated as Vallee, Jacques, Computerized Catalog (N = 3073).

The long duration suggests it was an astronomica misinterpretation.
