The local newspaper Le Courrier Cauchois, of Yvetot, indicated on November 12, 1954, that they were informed that last Tuesday, November 9, 1954, Mr. Maurice Gobarel, tobacco and coffee shop owner in Etalleville, had seen, early in the morning, very clearly, a a sort of luminous sphere with bars that were more brilliant.
This sphere seemed to land in a bunch of trees, where it remained for about ten minutes before leaving.
The newspaper added that an early morning consumer had also witnessed the occurence.

This is supposed "landing" and a "take-off" that remained totally unknown since I did not find any ufological source about it.
As for what it was... an extraterrestrial craft is possible.
