END OF 1959, LES MITRIS, HAUTE-MARNE, FRANCE, SCHOOLCHILDREN:

Brief summary of the event and follow-up:

Ufologist Denys Breysse reportedly indicated in his "Project Becassine" CE3 catalogue that in Fontaines, Les Mitris, France, in the end of 1959, at night, several schoolchildren were walking on a field, when they saw a large metallic craft with a black dome on top, posed on the ground.

Two figures stood in front of the object, with only the upper section of their bodies visible. They appeared to be wearing brown outfits.

A couple of the schoolchildren attempted to approach the object, but were prevented by some type of invisible force or influence. The humanoids seemed to ignore the witnesses.

After a while, these beings "disappeared", and the object departed soundlessly at high speed.

[Ref. ar1:] ALBERT ROSALES:

Albert Rosales indicates in his catalogue that in Fontaines, Les Mitris, France, on end of 1959, at night, several schoolchildren were walking on a field saw a large metallic craft with a black dome on top on the ground. Two figures stood in front of the object. Only the upper section of their bodies was visible and they appeared to be wearing brown combination suits. A couple of the witnesses attempted to approach the object but were prevented by some type of invisible force or influence. The humanoids seemed to ignore the witnesses. After awhile the beings disappeared and the object departed soundlessly at high speed.

Albert Rosales indicates that the source is Denys Breysse, Project Becassine.

Points to consider:

It is very unfortunate that this case of apparent high strangeness is so sparsely documented.
