Reports:

[Ref. aml1:] AIME MICHEL:

Aimé Michel reports that on October 14, 1954, in Montrevel at 16 kilometers of Bourg-en-Bresse, many witnesses saw at 06:13 P.M. a very shiny machine flying horizontally in an absolutely rectilinear way from the west to the east.

He says that the details of the sighting are very precise because a professor of science, Mr. Corre, resident of Bourg, was among the witnesses.
