SEPTEMBER 26, 1965, BONNERT, ARLON, LUXEMBURG, A FARMER:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Ufologist Franck Boitte is said to have noted in a catalogue that in Bonnert, Luxembourg, on September 26, 1965, at 7 p.m., a farmer was working the fields in a valley when he saw a luminous globe approaching his location. The globe appeared to have luminous concentric circles inside. It landed nearby and became red in color and transparent.

Inside the globe, the farmer saw what appeared to be a feminine figure staring at him. It appeared to be wearing a luminous robe and had two large, beautiful, blue eyes. The globe then suddenly rose up again and disappeared silently into the distance.

The superstitious farmer interpreted the incident as an appearance of the Blessed Virgin.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Bonnert, Luxembourg, on September 26, 1965, at 1900, a farmer was working the fields in a valley when he saw a luminous globe approaching his location. The globe appeared to have luminous concentric circles inside. The globe landed nearby and became red in color and transparent. Inside the globe the farmer saw what appeared to be a feminine figure staring at him. The figure appeared to be wearing a luminous robe and had two large (beautiful) blue eyes. The globe then suddenly rose up again and disappeared silently into the distance. The superstitious farmer interpreted the incident as a Holy Virgin apparition.

Albert Rosales indicates as source Catalogue Boitte in Project Becassine.
