Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In their 1979 book "La Grande Peur Martienne" ("The Great Martian Scare"), the "skeptical" ufologists Gérard Barthel and Jacques Brucker noted this case on October 16, 1954:
"Poix - 80 - 7 p.m.: investigation. Vague luminous phenomenon."
Further in the book, they indicated that they spoke to the witness, that the observation was towards 07:00 p.m., that there are not enough details to identify what he observed, that he spoke about a "very low gleam on the horizon, of an orange red color" within 7 or 8 kilometers, and that he left before the disappearance of the phenomenon.
