Summary:

In his "Preliminary catalog of 500 observations" published in his book "Les Phénomènes Insolites de l'Espace" in 1966, ufologist Jacques Vallée noted an observation on October 3, 1954 at 8:30 p.m. in Saint-Germain-en-Laye.

In their 1979 book "OVNI, Premier Dossier Complet des Rencontres Rapprochées en France", ufologists Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis Ruchon reported a little more: October 5, 1954, at 9:00 p.m. in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the Yvelines, on the road to Poissy, an ovoid object surrounded by a very bright halo, moving slowly, was observed.
