The alleged sighting at Cussac, France, August 29, 1967.

To the reader:

In my experiences of discussions relating to the case of Cussac in 1967, it occurred several times that when I discussed a particular point, it was argued that I should discuss some other point(s). I want to specify that what follows is neither a demonstration that the object allegedly seen was or was not an helicopter or an alien spaceship or whatever else, and that the following is not an act allegiance to any work or writings of anybody.

This page is in no way supposed to be neither points of no importance, neither absolutely capital points, neither that is it all that can be said on the case, neither that this is all I can say on the case, neither that I never said anything else, neither that I felt obliged to say more, neither that I will say nothing more.

The items discussed here are in no manner a declaration infallibility of mine, they are not claimed to be "scientific", I never introduced myself as "a scientist" nor an "expert" about anything, I am not the puppet of anybody. I do not claim objectivity, I only claim I try to be. I will make note of any remark, correction, addition, comment, under the sine qua non condition that it contains no insults, nothing discourteous, nothing irrelevant, and no questioning of my intents.

Questions of locations:

• Point 1: Compared to the line of trees, or hedge, behind which the alleged object and occupants are supposed to have been located by the two children, at the level of which trees were they located as seen by the witnesses, according to various versions of the case?
• Point 2: Three "skeptical" authors affirm that a definite turn of the road neglected by GEPAN implies inconsistency of measurements of plans by the GEPAN. Is this true?
• Point 3: It was claimed publicly in April 2008 by a "skeptical" author that I am unable to draw a plan to locate the object seen by the witnesses based on the measurements indicated by the GEPAN investigation. Is this true?
• Point 4: Comments on a site view seen on the Internet.

The sources:

Not everyone is familiar with the documentation on the case, or perhaps not everyone always has all the details in mind. Here, I give the available sources on the case:

• The first article on the case, in the newspaper La Montagne, for September 1, 1967.
• Article of the Paris-Jour tabloid for September 2-3, 1967.
• The first mention of the case in Lumières Dans la Nuit (LDLN), ufology magazine, October 1967.
• Mention of the case in the APRO Bulletin, USA, September / October issue.
• The report by Joël Mesnard and Claude Pavy, published in the ufology magazine "Phénomènes Spatiaux", of the GEPA ufology group, in issue #16, for June 1968.
• Reports synthesis by Fernand Lagarde, published in the collective LDLN book "Mystérieuses Soucoupes Volantes", 1973.
