The regional newspaper of the Communist Party The Allobroges for October 11, 1954, reported on page 2, that Mr. Charles Oyant, postman in Chamousset, as well as the neighbors, had "attended a curious phenomenon. A ball of light resembling the moon is dancing, while changing shape and color. A human shape is vaguely emerging. After thirty minutes, everything disappears."
[Ref. als1:] NEWSPAPER "LES ALLOBROGES":
A mailman, Mr Charles Oyant, of Chamousset, as well as some neighbours, witnessed a strange phenomenon. A ball of light resembling the moon started to dance, while changing shape and color. Moreover, a humain figure was vaguely distinguished. After thirty minutes, everything disappeared.
[Ref. jsr1:] JEAN SIDER:
Jean Sider indicates that on October 6, 1954 at 08:30 p.m. in Chamousset, Chamoux, Savoie, Mr. Charles Oyant, postman in Chamousset, and unnamed neighbors had attended a curious phenomenon. A ball of light resembling the moon begins to dance, while changing shape and color. "In addition, a human form is vaguely (sic) seen. After thirty minutes, everything disappears."
Jean Sider indicates that the local source is "Les Allobroges", Grenoble, October 11, 1954, page 2.
He notes that the story is much too succinct to be exploitable, but that this communist newspaper, like its fellow in ideology, dispensed a very strong anti-saucer spirit throughout the wave and even afterwards.
