According to a catalog published in the ufological bulletin UFO Informations, the newspaper Le Dauphiné Libéré for September 22, 1954, reported this observation of September 16, 1954, around 09:30 p.m. in Montélimar:

The guard of a campground, Mr. L. saw, close to the moon shining in an excessively clear sky, a circle of light which, in a few seconds grew, then began to decrease in size and disappeared.
