Narratives:

[Ref. mf1:] MICHEL FIGUET:

In a listing, Michel Figuet indicates a case of the Summer of 1956, between Wimereux and Boulogne, and indicates only "reported facts, witness deceased."

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates that between Wimereux and Boulogne, Pais de Calais [Pas-de-Calais], France, in the summer 1956, at night, a witness traveling on a road spotted a shiny disc-shaped object on the ground. A figure about 1-1/2 m in height stood next to the object. Afraid the witness did not approach and left the area.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is LDLN, Denys Breysse Project Becassine.

Points to consider:

A sad example of shoddy treatment of a UFO sighting report: almost nothing is known, almost nothing is available.
