October 10, 1954, Cussy-les-Forges, Yonne:

Reference for this case: 10-oct-54-Cussy.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.

Summary:

It is by the sci-fi writer and ufologist Jimmy Guieu that this case surfaced in 1956. It was then summarized by Guy Quincy then Jacques Vallée who does not quote Jimmy Guieu as the source, then many others copied Vallée's summary.

Guieu indicates that he investigated two witnesses "absolutely worthy of faith", Daniel Grapin and François Bolatre, assistant-geometrician, and did not have "the feeling that they had dreamed" about an incident on October 10, 1954 at 2 o'clock in the morning, between Epoisses and Toutry in the Côte-d'Or.

The two witnesses drove Mobylettes [light motorcycle] by a slightly covered weather, and Guieu quotes François Bolatre as telling him that they suddenly saw an orange sphere of an apparent diameter equal to that of the full moon, which went up and down in the sky, a craft that appeared and disappeared alternatively, whom they lost from sight. 15 kilometers further, they saw an orange gleam in the middle of the road and noted while approaching that it was an enormous dazzling sphere of 3.50 meters in diameter approximately, which brightly illuminated the road on which it was posed.

Amazed, they stopped, and suddenly realized that the sphere approached, advancing towards them without rolling, rather slowly initially, then, imperceptibly, faster and faster to rush right at them. Frightened, they quickly turned their Mobylettes and started full throttle in the direction from where they had come "and this, without looking back!"

François Bolatre specifies that no time did the thing exceed them, and that they thus unaware of the direction it flew away or the time it rose, and that the sighting had lasted 3 to 4 minutes approximately.

Jimmy Guieu comments that it "would be obviously too easy to say the two Messrs hallucinated" "like the hundreds of other witnesses of landings of flying saucers", a solution which he indicates was chosen by the scientists but does not satisfy him. He adds that the official and allegedly scientific claims that flying saucers are dreams are suspicious and are refuted by the fact that people continue to see flying saucers.

Far from saying these two gentlemen hallucinated - a condition in which two "hallucinating" persons have no chance of experiencing the same hallucination, I show in this file that the orange sphere was, as it was easy to guess, the moon.

[Ref. gal1:] CHARLES GARREAU AND RAYMOND LAVIER:

The two authors indicate that on October 10, 1954, at 02:00, close to Cussy-les-Forges in Yonne, the weather was slightly overcast. Two motorcycle riders, Mr. Daniel Grapin and Mr. François Bolatre, were coming from Epoisses and driving to Toutry on the RN 454. In front of them, as they have just climbed a small hill in crossing of a wood, they discover an orange sphere, the size of the full moon, which is busy with a strange movement of elevator in the sky like a spider going up and down along its string. The craft disappears again behind natural obstacles.

They provide this account by François Bolatre:

"But 15 kilometers further, tells François Bolatre, whereas we exceeded Cussy-les-Forges, we saw an orange gleam in the middle of the road. While we got closer, we realized that it came from a dazzling sphere of 3.50 meters in diameter approximately landed in the middle of the road. We stopped, vaguely anxious. Suddenly, we realized that the sphere approached us slowly, without rolling. Then it increased speed imperceptibly and spun right on us. Frightened, we made turned back and fled at full throttle, without us looking back. At no time did the craft exceed us. Thus we did not see how it moved away."

[Ref. fru1:] MICHEL FIGUET AND JEAN-LOUIS RUCHON:

The authors indicate that on October 10, 1954, at 2 o'clock a 4 minutes sighting took place on National road N454, between Espoisses and Toutry and Cussy-les-Forges, the witnesses being Daniel Grapin and François Bolatre, an assistant-geometrician.

These two witnesses were riding motorcycles by a slightly covered time, when they saw an orange sphere, the size of the full moon, which went up and down in the sky, appearing and disappearing alternatively, then disappearing from their sight at the end of a few moments.

When they were at the exit of Cussy-les-Forges in the Yonne, they noted the presence in the middle of the road, of an orange gleam, which came from a dazzling sphere of 3.50 meters approximately, which brightly illuminated the road on which it was posed.

They were amazed, stopped and noted that this object approached them initially slowly, then more and more quickly.

They were frightened, turned their motorcycles in direction of Cussy-les-Forges, and fled without looking back.

[Ref. prn2:] PETER ROGERSON - "INTCAT":

Explanations:

In 1954 in France, ufology was a very new thing, with very few people having any notion of investigation, competences, experience and methods to determine whether a sighting report can have this or that commonplace explanation. It is in particular the case with science-fiction writer and saucer enthusiast Jimmy Guieu, who did not really bother to look for possible ordinary explanation and rather tried to promote each sighting as being that of an authentic flying saucer.

The ufological context in general was indeed extremely simplistic at that time. The choices are clear-cut, well too simple, for the few investigators and almost the totality of the Press: either the witnesses are "truthful", or they are liars. The very notion that a witness can be truthful, totally honestly describing what he really saw, but that by considering his description and studying the circumstances it could be realized that what he honestly described was simply not a flying saucer as everybody interpreted in this period when saucers were reported all over France, the very notion that he might have seen a certain natural phenomenon that he did not correctly identify, was an almost non-existent notion.

As regards "scientist", it is almost true that they shared the same simplistic vision of affairs. These witnesses must be liars, they are not of good faith. For a psychologist, professor Heuyer, who was largely quoted in the press, things were even clearer: people who claim to see flying saucers are quite simply the mentally deficient ones, whom he thinks would soon "contaminate" the entire nation if scientists do not put an end to this obvious psychiatry problem.

One of the only scientists of the time to have alerted the public opinion on the many possibilities of confusions, by witnesses that are by no means "mentally ill" nor liars, but were simply wrong in their interpretation of what they saw, was an astronomer, Evry Schatzman, through articles published in the press. Unfortunately, at the time ufologists had decided that since he is a scientist, a rationalist scientist to make things worse, he must be wrong. They did not listen to him and did not realize that indeed, there existed just like he showed, well documented examples in which confusions, often of astronomical nature, had convinced truthful and sane witnesses that they had seen a flying saucer. Ufologists simply demonized the hated rationalist without hearing any more word of him for the next decades.

Such was the state of affair in which Jimmy Guieu, single source of this sighting in spite of the innumerable rehashes in the ufological literature, approached it: either these witnesses are truthful, and then they inevitably saw a flying saucer, or they are liars or people who hallucinate. Certainly rightly, Guieu realized by hearing at least one of the two witnesses, that he could be trusted. Certainly rightly also, he did not resort to the facility which consists in uttering "hallucination" for no reason, the magical open-sesame used by the journalists of skeptic opinion to get rid without much effort of these irritating flying saucers which, they knew, could simply not exist. Guieu having discarded the "hallucination" and seeing little chance that the witness was a liar, did not seek any ordinary explanation and left it there: they thus saw a flying saucer.

It would practically not be before the end of the Seventies in France that, suddenly, some ufologists, calling themselves "the New Ufologists ", discovered and read American skeptics authors such as Philip Klass and realized that all UFO sighting reports must not necessarily be sightings of alien spaceships, but can be, and are often, simple or complex confusions.

Unfortunately, the New Ufologists, seized with the new debunkery craze, Monnerie, Barthel and Brucker, and their increasingly numerous followers then thought that must actually exist no single sighting report that would not be a confusion, or the occasional hoax, and proclaimed this so loudly and proudly that French ufology split in two extremes: the "vile debunkers" or "socio-psycho's" and the "gullible believers". The aforementioned "believers" thus very instinctively and very generally decided to continue to neglect the search of ordinary explanations and continued lousy investigations or the more or less honest re-copying of "classic cases", often removing important information, for example those cases of the 1954 French saucer flaps as told by Jimmy Guieu, without looking for possible commonplaces causes of these saucers reports. To now try to reconstitute the documentation and to check into these cases, little by little, is thus, for them, "disinformation" or to act as a "vile debunker."

In the present case, an explanation however just screams out of the report: the witnesses, or the witness Guieu heard, described almost perfectly an observation of the Moon!

He describes a sphere, and the moon is indeed a sphere.

He describes an orangeish color, and the Moon indeed takes such a color in the proper circumstances - full moon in autumn low on horizon in misty or cloudy weather.

He describes the diameter of the sphere as being that of a full moon; isn't this a remarkably accurate estimate?

He does not describe smoke, noise, landing gear, antenna, port-hole, Martians.

How could anyone miss realizing that it would advisable to check if by chance the two men simply saw the Moon?

Hypothesis 1: Was the Moon at least in the sky? If not, the Moon cannot be the explanation. If so, the Moon might be the explanation.

This is quite verifiable. And in fact, yes, on October 10, 1954 at 02:00 a.m. local time, from Cussy-les-Forges, the Moon was at azimuth 239° 7 ' and elevation 22° 41'.

At 03:00 a.m., it is at 251° 37' and elevation 13° 49'.

The moon ("Lune") at 02:10 a.m.

The Moon was indeed in the sky. Moreover, from 02:00 a.m. to 03:00 a.m., it was low, from 22° to 13° elevation.

Hypothesis 2: Was the Moon a full the Moon? If not, the Moon is not a very good explanation. If so, the Moon explanation is even better.

Yes, actually it was a full moon with 93% of its visible sunlit part visible to the witnesses.

Hypothesis 3: Was the Moon in front of the witnesses? If it was behind their backs, the Moon is not a very good explanation. If it was precisely in front of their eyes, the Moon is a better and better explanation.

The National Road 454 or RN 454, reclassified RD 954 in 1972, was a main road connecting Recey-sur-Ource to Cussy-les-Forges.

The witnesses began their observation between Epoisse and Toutry. It continued 15 kilometers further to Cussy-les-Forges. It ended when, frightened, they decided to turn their motorycles back and fled back. They thus were riding on the RN454 in the Epoisse towards Toutry towards Cussy-les-Forges direction.

It is easy to note on a map that while making this drive, they were going exactly in the direction towards the Moon's position!

Hypothesis 4: The UFO goes up and down, appears and disappears. If the terrain does not allow that, the Moon is not a good explanation. If the terrain allows that, the Moon is really a quite fit explanation.

The Moon goes up and goes down alternatively in this observation. It "disappears" and "reappears" also alternatively.

The illusion is however classic: the variation of the terrain can reveal then hide the Moon. If the Mobylettes are on top of a hill, the sight is good. If they are down in a hollow, the sight on the Moon can be very easily masked. Were they on a flat terrain?

Precisely not so. This is a hilly terrain, for precisely the village of Cussy-les-Forges, an altitude indicated by the National Geography Institute indicates "minimum 265 meters" and "maximum 361 meters". A 100 meters variation. The same applies on almost all the course.

This is precisely in conformity with the description by the witnesses of the thing going up, down, appearing and disappearing alternatively.

Additional remarks.

What about the landed sphere of 3.50 meters diameter?

Well, are there still ufologists nowadays who would not realize that absolute sizes do not count at all in such circumstances? What matters is the angular size; and it is that of the full moon. Of course, when witnesses assume that the moon landed on the road - because it could indeed have been straight ahead on the road, because it was the night, with clouds - then the witnesses assume that it is not millions of kilometers away, but as some more reasonable distance, and the witnesses believe they can express a diameter in meters. But isn't it just interesting that there is no shred of mention of the distance of sighting? Isn't this a question to ask, just in case the witness would answer that it was, say, at 10 meters of them?

If the witnesses had seen a flying saucer, they must have seen it near to the Moon. They do not say whether they saw the Moon in addition to a flying saucer, which is understandable. They are not ufologists! But Jimmy Guieu was supposed to be a ufologist. Jimmy Guieu does not ask them - or if he did, he forgot to mention the answer. In an investigation, a ufologist must absolutely ask this sort of things, ask the witness(es) where the Moon was, where the most brilliant stars were, if there were, and so on!

It might seem incredible that the Moon can be mistaken for a flying saucer. But the Moon sometimes takes appearances which can be disconcerting. And precisely, Jimmy Guieu states at least that the sky was partially covered!

Do we even have information on the maturity of the witnesses? No! We do not even know their ages. One is an "assist-geometrician". A 16-year-old apprentice? With a 14-year-old friend? Nothing is reported on this matter, and it is to better to skip Vallée's summary that changes them in "two geometricians." Nothing is known as of their state of mind, in a period when precisely almost the entire nation was looking up in hope to see the saucers that make the headlines every day.

One can only note that François Bolatre "knows" how a saucer must behave, unless pressure from Jimmy Guieu resulted in this: he assumes that once that they turned their back at it, the saucer just must have taken off.

Conclusion.

In this sighting report, all the available parameters indicate that the Moon constitutes a fit explanation, corresponding very well to the report allotted to the witnesses, an explanation simple and easy to evaluate, but an explanation that obviously had not even been considered at the time, nor since.
