Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
Ufologist and author Jean Sider indicated in the 1990s that he found an article in the newspaper Le Berry Républicain, of Bourges, for November 13-14, 1954, on page 6, reporting that between November 9 and 12, 1954, three anonymous women driving by car to Buxières-d'Aillac near Argenton-sur-Creuse in the Indre suddenly saw two luminous discs rotating in opposite directions relative to each other, hovering at 40 meters above the road.
Their vehicle was stopped, the engine stopped, the headlights went out.
When the phenomenon moved away quickly, vertically, the headlights came back on.
[Ref. jsr1:] JEAN SIDER:
French ufologist and author Jean Sider learned in an article from the newspaper Le Berry Républicain, Bourges, November 13-14, 1954, on page 6, that three anonymous women traveling by car suddenly saw two luminous discs turning in opposite direction one compared to the other, hovering at forty meters above the road. Their vehicle is stopped, the engine stops, and the headlights die out. When the phenomenon moves away quickly to the vertical, the headlights light again.
Jean Sider notes that nothing is said about the engine to the moment of the departure of the discs, but he guesses that it started again.
He dates the case as having occurred possibly between the 9th and 12th of November.
[Ref. lcn1:] LUC CHASTAN:
Luc Chastan indicates that in the Indre in "Buxières d" in November 1954 at an unknown hour, in the week from the 9th to the 12th, three women who drive by car observe two luminous discs turning in reverse directions one compared to the other, in lift at forty meters above the road. Their vehicle is stopped, the engine stops, and the headlights die out. When the phenomenon moves away quickly and vertically, the headlights are re-ignited.

[Ref. jqy1:] JEAN DE QUERCY:
Three witnesses were traveling in a car. They suddenly saw two luminous discs rotating in opposite directions to each other, hovering and about forty meters above the road.
The vehicle, without the intervention of its driver, was stopped, the engine cut and the headlights extinguished! It was necessary to wait for the end of the phenomenon and its remoteness for everything to return to normal.
