Reference for this case: 4-Jan-54-Arles.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In the 2010s, a German web-based UFO sightings database indicated that there was a sighting of the "close encounter of the 2nd kind" on January 4, 1954 at 9:00 p.m. in Arles in France.
Neither source nor details were given.
[Ref. ubk1:] "UFO-DATENBANK":

Totally insufficient information.
It is possible that this record actually refers to the famous case of Marignage near there at the same date, or the case in Saint-Martin-de-Crau on January 5, 1954.
(These keywords are only to help queries and are not implying anything.)
