The article below was published in the daily newspaper Nord Littoral, Calais, France, page 5, on October 23, 1954.
A Calaisian, shopping at "La Ruche", at the corner of rue du Onze-Novembre and rue A. Briand, located at Ste-Marie-Kerque, the day before yesterday evening, saw an unidentified luminous disc above the town. Mr. Merlier, whose statements co-substantiate those of another witness is absolutely formal:
- Previously I did not believe in these alleged craft at all. Now I'm sure because I'm grown up enough not to have been hallucinated!"
A Guines worker at Ets Dion and Lavoine, getting off the train from Guines the day before yesterday evening, around the same hour, in company another of his fellow citizens, also saw a luminous disc.
We will also see in the Nordausques section, that a craft was also seen.
