The regional newspaper Ouest France for November 8, 1954, reported that in Saint-Macaire-en-Mauge, "the other morning", Mr. Gabriel Tricoire, tailor rue de la Delliée, saw at 6:15 a disc leaving behind a luminous trail, of orange color, violently illuminating the ground.
The newspaper added: "The machine flew at low altitude, without noise. Mr Tricoire's son, who went to the church to attend the mass, was witness of the same phenomenon and came back home, very proud of having seen a saucer. The dad had only the confirmation of what he had seen himself."
