Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
French Science-Fiction writer and ufologist Jimmy Guieu indicated in his 1954 books on flying saucers that on January 9, 1954, a spaceship moved above Beaujeu.
He said it was similar to a "lenticular spaceship" reported that day at the same time in the departments of Jura, Haute-Marne, Doubs and Côte-d'Or.
Ufologist Charles Garreau put this sighting on a map with the others.
Both failed to understand that it was actually a widely-seen meteor.
[Ref. cgu1:] CHARLES GARREAU:
French journalist and pioneer of french ufology Charles Garreau drew the map underneath to plot sightings which all occurred on January 9, 1954, between 06:15 A.M. and 7:50 A.M. in the East of France.
Though no narrative is joined, it is visible on the map that according to him a sighting of some sort occurred on January 9, 1954, at 07:50 a.m., in Beaujeu.
[Ref. jgu1:] JIMMY GUIEU:
French Science-Fiction writer and ufologist Jimmy Guieu indicates that on January 9, 1954, a "similar spaceship evolved above Macon and Beaujeu."
"Similar spaceship" refers a "lenticular spaceship" Guieu says had been reported that day at the same time in the departmens of Jura, Haute-Marne, le Doubs and Côte-d'Or.
