The index page for the 1954 French flap section of this website is here.
Reference number for this case: 3-Oct-54-Tagnon. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
[Ref. emt1:] ERIC MAILLOT:
Eric Maillot mentions the case of October 3, 1954 in Tagnon in the Ardennes as coming from the book by Jean-Michel Ligeron, indicating that the phenomenon was an orange oval going towards the South-west in evening.
Eric Maillot notes that the case information is very sparse and that the explanations could be the moon setting down or the known meteor of 08:47 p.m. going from the North-East towards the South-west.
