In their 1979 book, the two French ufologists Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis Ruchon indicated that according to the newspaper L'Echo Républicain for October 7, 1954, in Janville, on October 5, 1954, at 07:30 p.m., a ball of fire moving very slowly was observed.
[Ref. fru1:] MICHEL FIGUET AND JEAN-LOUIS RUCHON:
The two authors indicate that in Janville in an unspecified department on October 5, 1954 at 07:30 p.m., a ball of fire moving very slowly was observed.
The source is given as L'Echo Républicain for October 7, 1954.
[Ref. lcn1:] LUC CHASTAN:
Luc Chastan indique que dans l'Eure et Loir à la Janville le 5 octobre 1954 à 19:30 heures, il y a eu une observation d'une boule de feu se déplaçant très lentement.
La source est indiquée comme "Ovni, Premier dossier complet... par Figuet M./ Ruchon J.L. ** éd. Alain Lefeuvre 1979".
[Ref. jqy1:] JEAN DE QUERCY:
On October 5, 1954 at 7:30 p.m., a very slowly moving ball of fire was observed. This case is similar to the vision of a meteor. But the slowness of the phenomenon leaves one wondering.
