September 26, 1954, Neuvy-Sautour, Yonne:

Reference number for this case: 26-Sep-54-Neuvy-Sautour. Thank you for including this reference number in any correspondence with me regarding this case.

Summary:

In the 1950s, an archivist interested in "flying saucers", Guy Quincy, noted an observation of September 26, 1954, at 9:00 p.m., in Neuvy-Sautour, of "two luminous discs."

In 1984, ufologist Michel Figuet mentionned that in the regional newspaper L'Yonne Républicaine for September 28, 1954, an observation was mentioned in Neuvy-Sautour at 9 p.m., whose witness was a painter, Alcide Vallet.

Reports:

[Ref. gqy1:] GUY QUINCY:

September 26 [1954]

09:00 p.m.: Neuvy-Sautour (7 km NE Saint-Florentin--Yonne): 2 lumin. discs

[Ref. mft1:] MICHEL FIGUET:

Michel Figuet, after discussing a case published in the newspaper L'Yonne Républicaine for Tuesday, September 28, 1954, #224, page 3, says that two other observations are cited after the article, one in Varennes, the other in Neuvy-Sautour at 9 p.m., the witness beingthe painter Alcide Vallet.

Explanations:

So far I found no information on a painter named Alcide Vallet; he was perhaps hardly known.

As for the "two luminous disks", I find it impossible, with so little information at the moment, to decide what they could have been.
