[Ref. ez1:] ERIC ZURCHER:

The author indicates that one night in 1910 in Chevroux, in the hamlet of Boisey in the Ain, Mr. Perret, in a wood, saw a huge human silhouette, 3 meters tall, moving towards him.

He was panicked and fled, thus escaping this being.

The next day, he reconsidered the spot but did not find any clue.

Eric Zurcher indicates as reference: "L'insolite", #1, page 20, July 75.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that near Boisey, France, in 1939, at an unknown time, the witness, 18, was walking through a wood on his way to meet some friends when he felt a presence behind him. He turned and saw the silhouette of "an immense human form," 10 ft tall, moving toward him. He ran. No traces were found.

The source is indicated as "J Perret, L’Insolite # 1".

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates that in St. Didier sur Rochefort, Loire, France, in 1914, , at 04:00 a.m., "A Mr. Perret was at home sleeping when someone tapping on his back suddenly awakened him. He turns and sees a luminous being the size of a 10-12 year old child. The being had a white glittering face and wore a very shiny outfit. He illuminated the room completely. The being then walked through the door and vanished. An afterglow remained behind for about 3 seconds. The frightened witness remained in bed."

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "LDLN # 243".

[Ref. ud1:] SIT WEB "UFODNA":

The website says that in 1913 at "21:00", in "Chevroux, Hameau, France", "A young man walking through a wooded area on his way to join an army unit heard noises and felt a presence behind him. Upon turning around he saw a 3-meter tall human-like figure approaching him taking great strides. Terrified the young man ran away from the area and did not look back."

The source reference is a broken link.
