Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Saint Constant, Quebec, Canada, on May 13, 1978, at 2245, two witnesses, Yves Nailler and Sylvia Pazenteau were sitting in a parked truck when they saw an orange red luminous glowing object of an undetermined shape descend over them. A beam of light was shone on the witnesses who then briefly saw what appeared to have the head of an entity looking at them. The witnesses felt panic and experienced a strong heat wave and had difficulty moving their arms. Then glowing object then disappeared from sight.
Albert Rosales indicates that the source is "Marc LeDuc CASUFO, Denys Breysse Project Becassine."
Points to consider:
"Pazenteau" may really have been "Parenteau".
The lack of details in the report makes it possible to exclude that it was actually for example a police helicopter force approaching and illuminating the parked truck for checking.
The question of the credibility also arises, since nothing is said about any investigation into the case.
