Summary:

The local newspaper L'Echo Nogentais for July 24, 1954, noted:

"Is it a mirage? Tuesday [thus July 21, 2954], at about 4 p.m., flying saucers were seen in the sky of Troyes."

Jacques Vallée noted in a computer catalog a case of UFO of July 21, 1954, at 4 p.m., in Troyes. There was no other information and no source reference.

In 2019, on the Web, a Web page on observations in the Aube department was published by one Jacques Schwitzer. It aid that on July 20, 1954, at 4 p.m., in Troyes, nine people had observed an extremely brilliant ball that turned on itself, and that this observation was confirmed by the director of the Juvénal-des-Ursins clinic who had installed an observatory on the roof of his establishment.
