Reference number for this case: Dec-54-Fixin. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In a "regional catalogue", French ufologist Raoul Robé, dealing with the North-East of France, reportedly noted an observation close to Fixin, Côte-d'Or, France, in December 1954, at an unknown hour.
A Mr. Baran, 40 years old, spotted a grey machine posed in a field. Several humanoid characters wearing gray outfits seemed to move around the craft, moving their arm with difficulties, apparently.
Before that, he had seen brilliant lights going down from the sky.

Note: The source reference "Gross URECAT" is my file as it appears in my CE3 catalogue URECAT; the file content is the same as this page of my France 1954 catalogue.
Rosales [ar1] indicates that this case appears int he regional catalogue by Raoul Robé. I can tell that it does not appaer in the version of this catalogue published in the ufology magazine Lumières Dans La Nuit for September / October 1986.
The sparse information does not allow to discard the possibility that Mr. Baran saw an helicopter and its crew.
Unidentified. Possible helicopter.
