January 9, 1954, Beaujeu, Rhône:

Reference for this case: 9-Jan-54-Beaujeu.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.

Summary:

French Science-Fiction writer and ufologist Jimmy Guieu indicated in his 1954 books on flying saucers that on January 9, 1954, a spaceship moved above Beaujeu.

He said it was similar to a "lenticular spaceship" reported that day at the same time in the departments of Jura, Haute-Marne, Doubs and Côte-d'Or.

Ufologist Charles Garreau put this sighting on a map with the others.

Both failed to understand that it was actually a widely-seen meteor.

Reports:

French journalist and pioneer of french ufology Charles Garreau drew the map underneath to plot sightings which all occurred on January 9, 1954, between 06:15 A.M. and 7:50 A.M. in the East of France.

Though no narrative is joined, it is visible on the map that according to him a sighting of some sort occurred on January 9, 1954, at 07:50 a.m., in Beaujeu.
