The regional newspaper La Vendée Libre for October 10, 1954 reported that "Thursday evening", so on October 7, 1954, around 6 p.m., Mrs. Marie Raud, widow Fabarez, at La Chaignée de Vix, according to her statements, saw in the sky an elongated cylindrical craft of blue, red and green colors, heading from north to south and leaving behind a white trail, for only a few seconds, after which "the craft disappeared in the direction of La Rochelle."
The newspaper said she did not have enough time to call witnesses.
