The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference for this case: 6-Nov-54-Labuissière.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In an article of jokingly tone, the Journal de Bruay local newspaper told on November 7, 1954, that "Saturday" - therefore November 6, 1954 - a worker of the Atelier Central on the National Road in Labuissière, near the Hesdigneul airfield, reportedly saw a flying saucer around 3 a.m. from the window of his house.

Flying saucer:
We did not yet have this section today as we learned that a worker at the Ateliers Centraux dt [sic] route Nationale in Labuissière (near the Hesdigneul airfield) reportedly saw a flying saucer on Saturday morning around 3 a.m. from his house window.
We advise our readers who may see a saucer or a flying cigar in the sky, to kindly notify our correspondent (Office 33, rue V.-Hugo).
Besides, if you meet a Martian, please bring him to us for a photo. A big reward will be offered to whoever brings us a Martian.

Totally insufficient information.
The proximity of the airfield may hold the explanation, of course.
Labuissière was joined to the next city and renamed Bruay-la-Buissière in 1987.
(These keywords are only to help queries and are not implying anything.)
