The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference for this case: Oct-54-Baudricourt.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In 1984, in a catalog of observations of the Vosges in 1954, the ufology group Cercle Vosgiens Jumières Dans La Nuit noted an observation in Baudricourt "maybe in October 1954", with an anonymous witness, professional driver at the time, the source being an ongoing investigation by J. Nicot.
According to the catalog, this witness drove his truck on the road to Neufchateau, his headlights gradually extinguished around Baudricourt.
The catalogue noted that this was recent information so the investigation is ongoing and a detailed presentation will be given in a later issue.
But to this day I found nothing like it.

[Ref. cnu1:] CNEGU:
CNEGU notes that their case number F/98/88540000 (01) took place in Baudricourt perhaps in October 1954, with an anonymous witness who was a professional driver at the time, the source being an investigation J. Nicot being currently conducted.
This witness was driving his truck on the road of Neufchateau, his headlights died out gradually around Baudricourt.
CNEGU notes that this is a recent information, that the investigation is in hand and that a detailed talk will be given in a forthcoming magazine.
Totally insufficient information.
It seems like no UFO was seen.
