Reference for this case: 4-oct-54-Megrit.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.
In the press for October 7, 1954, one can read that a "young farmer of Mégrit (Côtes du Nord)", sometimes named, "Henri Lehérissé", "claimed to have seen in the yard of his farm an apparatus of a diameter of about one meter inside which lurked two human shapes, motionless, the size of a child."
A newspaper specified that his "gift of observation did not wait for the number of years", and indicates that the craft which he had seen had a diameter that did not exceed one meter, that it was posed in the courtyard of his farm, that two "dwarves occupied it, motionless, impassive", who "did not deign to go out and engage in conversation."
The pioneering French ufologist Jimmy Guieu wrote in 1958 that it was "through a sort of porthole" that the witness had glimpsed two immobile human forms the size of a child, whose darkness did not allow him to distinguish the precise aspect. He added that the craft had only stayed for a short moment and had taken off.
Aimé Michel, another pioneer of French ufology, reported in 1958 that on "October 4, 1954, in Mégrit, Mr. Henri Lehérissé left his home around 10 p.m. to make his horses drink. Surprised by an unusual light, he looked up and saw, motionless in the air about fifty meters above a hangar, a flat, luminous object, of metallic appearance, with a diameter that he estimates at 2 meters 50. As it approached, the object quickly moved away. Mr. Lehérissé thought he had seen black shapes moving as if the luminous mass was transparent."
Jacques Vallée would publish many times a summary evoking only a "metallic object, flat, emitting light", insisting on the proximity of this observation with that of Trégon the same day, 25 km away.
In 1976, Charles Garreau and Raymond Lavier gave, without specifying sources, a different version: they say that a farmer of this Mégrit, Mr. "Lhérissé", aged twenty-three, left his stables where he came from to groom his horses, when he was intrigued by a strong light near one of his sheds. He had approached it fearing the start of a fire, and then discovered a machine of about three meters in diameter, with luminous and metallic reflections. Not frightened, but curious, he had approached it and had distinguished two figures "the size of a child," which "almost immediately disappeared into the craft."
In 1979, Michel Figuet and Jean-Louis Ruchon evoke the versions of Aimé Michel and Charles Garreau, and indicate a new source, Le Provençal for October 3, 1954, which reportedly tells of a "craft, in the yard of the witness's farm, with a diameter of about one meter, inside which appear two immobile human shapes and the size of a child."
In 1989, the ufology magazine Lumières Dans La Nuit indicates that the magazine's investigators had met the witnesses and gathered accounts identical to those reported at the time; and expresses astonishment that the "debunkers" Gérard Barthel and Jacques Brucker do not say a word of the case whereas in the list of thanks at the end of their book, appears "Mes Leherissé" who is the wife of M. Leherissé, of Megrit's case.
In 2004, a person whose name I do not publish explained to me by email that he remembered this apparition very well, he was 11 years old then, because it had caused a stir in the village. He indicates that another person had witnessed the facts, the owner of the neighboring farm "La Petite Métairie" - he gave me the name of this witness. He tells me that Michel Lehérissé - and not "Henri" - lived on the farm "La Grande Métairie." My interlocutor specified that during his school holidays he was keeping the cows in the farm of the "Petite Métairie", and he explains that he believes in these people whom he had known very well.
In 2015, another person who had just read my file, from Mégrit, where he was just spending that weekend, where his father still lives, explains to me that his father's partner is the sister-in-law of Henri Leherissé, the person who saw the UFO in the farm. He assures me that the witness's first name is indeed Henri, that he is still alive, they had lunched with him that weekend, and he told them what he had seen:
He was going out to take care of his horses when he saw an intense light; as he approached he saw two rather small black shapes, and behind them, a metallic-colored "saucer" with a lot of light, resting on three crutches.
He got scared and rushed home only to come out the next day.
There was no more saucer the next day, but there was still the mark on the ground of the three crutches, which would have been noticed by several people.

THE ROUND OF THE SAUCERS continues to describe graceful interlacing, from Mantua, Italy, to Peros-Guirec [sic], and from Clermont to Dunkirk. Can we put all these testimonies on the account of the hallucination? Or are jokes spreading in all directions?
In Mantua, traffic was interrupted for more than an hour in the center by groups of people gathered to observe a strange "white object" which, at a high height, stood out clearly against the background of the blue sky.
After having carried out extremely fast moves, the craft, of spherical shape, remained motionless for some time in the sky, before disappearing on the horizon.
Two saucers were seen yesterday in the Clermont sky. The first one was moving west-east. The witnesses declared that the object approached them and became less and less brilliant. When it was no more than 150 meters away, they felt a "curious feeling" and were as if nailed on the spot. At that moment, a smell of nitro-benzine was released and the craft went away. The discomfort ceased and the saucer disappeared.
The other saucer moved vertically above the Chantorgues [sic] hills and was of a brilliant white.
Farmers from La Rochelle also found after the departure of a spherical saucer, 2 to 3 meters high and a diameter of 5 meters, traces of oily origin on the grass, not far from their farm.
In the same region, several people saw a squadron of elongated luminous objects passing at very high speed and high altitude.
Two residents of Lézignan who were driving in a truck claimed to have seen a disc-shaped object landing in a field between the village of Lagrasse and the hamlet of Villemagne (Aude).
The craft, they said, was about ten meters in diameter. But before they could get close, it wrapped them in a bright glow and disappeared.
Luckier, a young cultivator of Mégrit (Côtes du Nord) said he had seen a craft in his farm of a diameter of about a meter inside which were lined two human forms, immobile, the size of a child. However, he did not have the chance to experience the adventure of another Britton.
Mr. Pierre Lucas, a baker's worker in Loctudy (Finistère) suddenly saw in the night a craft in the shape of a saucer from 2.50 to 3 meters in diameter, he saw an individual about 1.20 meter tall come out and it approached him and tapped him on the shoulder, articulating unintelligible words. The baker succeeded in keeping his in cold blood and returned to the bakery where the unknown followed him.
In the light, Mr. Lucas could stare at his visitor. He had an oval face, all covered with hair and eyes the size of a crow's egg. The young man called his boss, but before he had time to go down, the stranger had disappeared, as had his saucer, of which no trace was found.
A merchant from Dunkirk had, several days ago, declared to have seen strange luminous objects in the sky of Bray-Dunes. An investigation had been opened which concluded that these were two military aircraft whose metallic coating had given the illusion!!!
And the other testimonies accumulate. In Bergerac, a firefighter claims to have seen a luminous disc supported by three crutches land in his garden.
In Paris, a saucer leaving in its wake a plume of smoke, like a rocket, was seen near the Porte Dorée, in the Faubourg Saint-Antoine, rue de la Pompe.
At Le Bourget, one explained that it is impossible, given the intensity of air traffic, to confirm by radar the passage of the craft.
Finally, saucers, discs, cigars, spheres of all diameters and other flying objects were seen at Quend, Grandvillars (Belfort), at Forges (Corrèze) and Perros-Guirec (Côtes du Nord).
Coulommiers' newspaper, "Le Pays Briard", publishes a letter from one of its readers, Mr. E. Farnier, member of the Society of Civil Engineers of France, regarding a flying saucer.
Mr. Farnier specifies that he saw above his property, in Jouy-sur-Morin, a large disc 8 to 10 meters in diameter, "turning on the spot while letting escape red-violet gleams, with a whistling reminding a little the arrival of a jet plane. The craft was about 400 meters high and hovered more than twenty minutes above me. I therefore, says Mr. Farnier, had the leisure to examine it. The object then disappeared in the direction of Coulommiers."
In his letter, Mr. Farnier adds:
"Former commissioner with the Aero-Club of France, having served in aviation, I was not the victim of a hallucination and this craft was not a sounding balloon, but a thick circular wing hovering over the place and moving at very high speed gradually gaining height."

There is novelty on the flying saucer horizon. The mystery remains, but some of the cases were explained. And, for those, the story ends there.
We now know that the craft that were seen in the Beuvry-les-Béthune region were "Paper hot air balloons", sent by a retiree, Mr. Oliveira, passionate about "lighter than air" gear. We announced it in our previous issue.
On the other hand, Mr. Antoine Bonte, I.D.N. engineer, professor of applied geology at the Faculty of Sciences of Lille, gave a scientific explanation of the phenomenon observed by dozens of people, Sunday evening, in the Lille region. Mr. Bonte himself saw the "flying saucer" which was only a lunar phenomenon.
Finally, rockets had been seen Sunday evening, off Calais. "It was like the luminous wake of flying saucers", some said. In fact, it was the signals of distress launched by the spherical balloon of Mrs. Paulette Weber.
So that's a series of solved cases. The others remain. They are disturbing. We will see it below. And we will not fail to compare them with the statements made by Mr. G. Duncan Fletcher, vice-president of the Astronomical Association of Kenya.
This eminent astronomer believes that "visitors from another world are observing the earth and probably mapping it."
But that's just a guess. We are not satisfied yet!
Quimper, 6. -- Around 4 a.m., yesterday morning, Mr. Pierre Lucas, worker-baker in Loctudy (Finistère), who was busy drawing water in the courtyard of the bakery, suddenly saw in the night a craft in the shape of a saucer of 2.50 m. to 3 meters in diameter. He saw come out of it an individual measuring about 1.20 m. who approached him and tapped him on the shoulder, mouthing unintelligible words. The baker managed to keep his cool and returned to the bakery where the stranger followed him.
In the light, Mr. Lucas was able to stare at the visitor: he had an oval face, all covered with hair and eyes the size of a crow's egg. The young man called his boss but, before the latter had time to come down, the stranger had disappeared along with his saucer, of which no trace was found.
A beer merchant of Concarneau, for his part, declared having seen in the sky two luminous disks in the form of round tables extended of a kind of tail. One of the discs was stationary while the other moved nearby. The two discs disappeared after ten minutes after launching a rocket.
Lezignan, 6. -- Two residents of Lezignan, MM. André Gardia and André Darzens, who were driving in a truck on the D-3 departmental road, claimed to have seen a disc-shaped craft land in a field between the village of Lagrasse and the hamlet of Villemagne (Aude).
The craft, they said, was about ten meters in diameter. Before they could approach it, it enveloped them in a bright glow and disappeared.
Bergerac, 6. -- Mr. Jean Defix, firefighter in Bergerac, and Mr. Jean Labonne claimed to have seen land in the garden of the latter a luminous disc about three meters in diameter, supported by three crutches.
Dinan, 6. -- In Mégrit (Côtes-du-Nord), a young farmer, Mr. Henri Lehérisse claimed to have seen in the yard of his farm a craft of a diameter of about 1 meter inside which appeared two human shapes, motionless and the size of a child.
La Rochelle, 6. -- Mr. and Mrs. Guillemoteau were in front of their farm when they saw, about one meter above the ground, a spherical saucer that could measure 2 to 3 meters in height and with a diameter of 5 meters. The craft, which produced no noise, stopped for a few minutes, then rose vertically. Mr. Guillemoteau, the next day, went to the place where he had seen the craft and was able to find oily traces on the grass.
Valenciennes, 6. -- Mr. Marcel Sénéchal, 20-year-old, from Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, was along the Scarpe canal, in the night from Saturday to Sunday. He was coming up to a pasture when he suddenly heard a conversation held in an unknown language and seeming to come from his right. He turned his head in this direction and to his great astonishment then saw a luminous mass in the shape of a haystack as well as two human forms of 1.20 m. in height approximately, covered with shining garments. A ray of light was coming out of the craft.
Mr. Sénéchal pedaled away at full speed.
Amiens, 6. A grocer from Amiens, Mrs. Nelly Mansart returned to Amiens on Sunday evening, around 9 p.m., coming from Hérissart in the company of her neighbors. She saw, in the sky, a glowing ball from which hung some kind of cables hung and letting out flames. The "saucer" flew low, about 150 meters above the ground, and followed the car for 10 kilometers.
"When we passed through a village, said Ms. Mansart, the craft bypassed it and reappeared at the exit.
It was making no noise and was definitely watching us. On leaving Pierregot I stopped at the last houses. The "Saucer", which had bypassed the village, was waiting for us and hovered then it moved away as I started again. It began to spiral for three or four hundred meters and changed shape to take that of an elongated, inverted crescent with a molten ball at the upper horn. At Rainneville the "Saucer" increased its gyration then moved away in the direction of the west of Amiens, to lose itself in infinity, in the space of a few seconds, at an incomparable speed."
Mantua. -- Traffic was interrupted for more than an hour in the center of Mantua by groups of people gathered to observe a strange "white object" which, at a great height, stood out clearly against the background of the blue sky.
After performing extremely rapid moves, the spherical craft - which, according to some witnesses, was part of "a formation of flying saucers" - remained motionless in the sky for some time, before disappearing at the horizon.
Also, the "Martians" seem to want to visit Italy as well. A fisherman from Roverbella, in the province of Mantua, said he was approached last night by a "mysterious individual", dressed in red, who would have said "unintelligible words" to him and who would have quickly moved away, before the fisherman had time to call his wife.
[Ref. ads1:] NEWSPAPER "L'ARDENNAIS":
A few days ago, a French radio broadcaster complained bitterly of the disdain that the "Uranids" and their heavenly vehicles were showing towards the capital. Only the inhabitants of the countryside seemed to interest the interplanetary travelers who approached them willingly and even tried to enter into conversation with them. Well, it was not an arbitrary privilege. Injustice is repaired. Paris, the big city, had its flying saucers!
Several Parisians have indeed said they saw, Tuesday afternoon, a craft moving in the sky. Passersby claimed to have seen one around 04:30 p.m., near the Porte Dorée.
Mr. Pierre Allouis, salesman in cardboard, went to his business by taxi, when the vehicle was stopped by a red light; Hearing, he said, a shrill whistling sound, he looked out of the door and saw a flying craft escaping high, leaving a plume of smoke in its wake.
Mr. Allouis describes the saucer as a disc bigger than a normal plane and silver. The same testimony is given by Mr. Gilbert Bacon and Mr. Paul Julien, a house painter. The latter, however, believe that it is not a saucer but a flying wing that affects the shape of a triangle with rounded edges.
At Le Bourget, it is explained that given the intensity of the air traffic, it is impossible to confirm by radar the passage of the craft at the insufficiently specified time. On the other hand, the radar cannot record the passage of a heavier than air more than by a bright spot regardless of the nature of the craft.
(Continued from the first page.)
LEZIGNAN. -- Two inhabitants of Lezignan, Messrs. André Garcia and André Darzens, who were driving in a truck on the departmental road D3, claimed to have seen a disc-shaped machine land in a field between the village of Lagrasse and the hamlet of Villemagne (Aude).
The craft, they said, was about ten meters in diameter. Before they could get close, it surrounded them in a bright glow and disappeared.
BERGERAC. -- Mr. Jean Defix, firefighter at Bergerac, and Mr. Jean Labonne, said that they saw a luminous disk about 3 meters in diameter, supported by three crutches, in the garden of the latter.
DINAN. -- In Megrit (Côtes du Nord), a young farmer, Mr. Henri Leherissé, said he saw in the yard of his farm a craft with a diameter of about 1 meter, around which appeared two human forms, immobile and the size of a child.
NEVERS. -- In Nevers, five residents of Château-Chinon said they saw Monday evening, at very high altitude, a kind of bright spot that split into two discs. These, they say, began to turn by changing color several times.
DUNKIRK. -- A Dunkirk merchant had, several days ago, said to have seen strange luminous objects in the sky of Bray-Dunes. An investigation had been opened. It concluded that they were two military planes whose metal coating had been misleading.
CLERMONT-FERRAND. -- Two saucers were seen Tuesday in the sky of Clermont. The first 10 kilometers from Beaumont at 03:45 p.m. It was moving west-east. Witnesses testified that the craft got closer to them and became less and less brilliant.
When they were only 150 meters away, they felt a "curious sensation" and were nailed to the spot. At that moment there was a smell of nitro-benzene. Soon the machine moved away, the discomfort ceased, and the saucer disappeared.
The other saucer was sighted over the hills of Chanturgue, near Clermont. It was moving vertically and was bright white.
A saucer was also sighted in Billom by a group of 30 people. The craft was moving over the city. It was moving horizontally. It was visible for 3 to 4 minutes before disappearing. An intense light emanated from the craft.
SAINT-BRIEUC. -- Several residents of Saint-Brieuc saw, during the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, a flying saucer that took the shape of a cigar before disappearing. They could watch it for over an hour.
The same phenomenon was noted in Trégueux where a cyclist returned home frightened by what he had seen.
LA ROCHELLE. -- In the night from Tuesday to Wednesday, several people from Thouare-sur-Vie (Vendée) saw in the sky a dozen luminous objects having an elongated shape and passing at a very high speed and high altitude.
LA ROCHELLE. -- Mr. and Mrs. Guillemoteau were standing in front of their farm when they saw about one meter from the ground, a spherical saucer measuring 2 to 3 meters in height and 5 meters in diameter.
The machine, which produced no noise, stopped for a few minutes, then climbed vertically. Mr. Guillemoteau went to the place where he had seen the machine the next day and was able to note oily traces on the grass.
QUIMPER. -- Around 4 o'clock Tuesday morning, Mr. Pierre Lucas, baker worker in Loctudy (Finistère), who was busy drawing water from the bakery yard, suddenly saw in the night a craft of the shape of a saucer 2 m 50 to 3 m in diameter. He saw an individual about 1m20 come out of it and hit him on the shoulder while uttering unintelligible words.
The baker's worker managed to keep his cool and returned to the bakehouse where the stranger followed him. In the light, Mr. Lucas could stare at the visitor. His face was hairy and his eyes were the size of a raven's egg. The young man called his boss, but before he had time to go down, the stranger had disappeared as well as his saucer of which no trace was found.
A Concarneau beer merchant, for his part, said he saw in the sky two luminous discs of the shape of round tables prolonged by a kind of tail. One of the disks was motionless while the other was moving nearby. Both disks disappeared after ten minutes after having launching a rocket.
MANTUA. -- The traffic was interrupted for more than an hour in the center of Mantua by groups of people gathered to observe a strange "white object" which, at a high height stood out clearly on the background of the blue sky.
After making extremely rapid maneuvers, the spherical machine - which according to some witnesses, was part of "a flying saucer formation" - remained motionless for some time in the sky, before disappear on the horizon.
On the other hand, the "Uranids" seem to want to visit the whole peninsula. Indeed, a fisherman from Roverbella, in the province of Mantua, said he was approached during the night by a a mysterious individual, dressed in red, who would have told him "unintelligible words" and who would have moved away quickly before the fisherman had time to call his wife.
Finally, a host of testimonials of saucers, disks, cigars, spheres and other flying objects having been seen in Quend (Somme), in Grandvillars (Belfort territory), in Magnac-Laval (Haute-Vienne), in Saint-Jean-d'Angely (Charente-Maritime), in Forges (Corrèze), in Perros-Guirrec (Côtes-du-Nord).
Finally, to a host of testimonials that may be doubted can be added some information such as the one we produce below, the indisputable seriousness of which leaves the most skeptical speechless.
MELUN. -- The Coulommiers newspaper, "Le Pays Briard", publishes a letter sent by one of their readers, Mr. Eugène Farnier, a member of the Society of Civil Engineers of France, about a flying saucer.
In this letter, Mr. Farnier states that he saw above his property, in Jouy-sur-Morin, a big disc of 8 to 10 meters in diameter "turning on itself", letting out red-violet gleams, with a tail reminding a little of the arrival of a jet plane. "The craft was about 400 meters above the ground and it was more above me for than 20 minutes," said Mr. Farnier, "so I had the opportunity to examine it well." The craft then disappeared in the direction of Coulommiers."
In his letter Mr. Farnier said: "Former Commissioner of the French Flying Club, having been in the aviation, I could not be a victim of hallucination. This machine was not a balloon but a thick wing hovering on the spot and moving at a very high speed while gradually taking height."

The daily chronicle of the "flying saucers" grows more and more. Each day, numerous newsbriefs report the passage of mysterious machines in this or that region. It remains to be learned whether the bad weather that the complacent meteorologists announce obligingly, will have an unspecified influence on the gracious evolutions of the ethereal visitors. It does not seem to be that way, so far.
To see a machine in the sky thus is nothing extraordinary anymore and one could fear monotony if, fortunately, the "celestial pilots" didn't come from time to pay a short visit on the dry land and to bring with their height, their costume and their actions, more spice to the current controversies on the reality of the "saucers".
"He resembled a man"
In this field, the transitory ephemeral topicality is rightfully to be credited today to a modest bakery worker of Loctudy (the Finistère), Mr. Pierre Lucas.
Standing up early and well awaken, our man was going to get water in the court of the bakery Tuesday morning when, in the wavering gleam of a rainy dawn, he saw a machine of the shape of a saucer of 2 m. 50 to 3 m. in diameter, which stationed there stupidly. He would certainly not have cared that much about it, if he hadn't suddenly seen an individual come out of it!
"He measured 1 m. 20, resembled a man (sic) and approached me. Before I recovered from my surprise, he had tapped on my shoulder while articulating unintelligible words."
Mr. Lucas showed a remarkable coolness. "Come inside, we'll have a chat", he

(continued from the first page)
must have told him, for the unknown followed him in the bake house. There, one saw all the same a little more clearly and without shame the "Martian" let himself be contemplated.
It is still Mr. Lucas who speaks:
"He had an oval face, entirely covered of hairs and eyes of the size of a corbel's egg!"
The young man called his owner, but the unknown undoubtedly estimated that the interview had lasted long enough. By the time that Mr. Lucas goes into the staircase to alert his owner with cares, the man and the machine had disappeared. Too bad...
First thing thus learn until better information: the strangers that pilot the saucers have a human form, but the size of children, and apparently developed hair.
Confirmation is given to us by Mr. Henri Lehérisé, young farmer of Megrit (Côtes-du-Nord), whose gift of observation did not await the number of the years.
With much off-handedness, his own apparatus, whose diameter did not exceed one meter, was posed in the court of his farm. Two dwarves occupied it, motionless, impassive. They did not condescend to come out and engage the conversation.
These two appearances obviously eclipse the "visions" of the day. Let us note however that the "saucers", threatened for a while by the barrels, balls, crescents and other cigars, launched a counter-attack of great style since there are now only talks of saucers.
The one in Saint-Brieuc let itself be contemplated during one hour; that of the surroundings of La Rochelle hovered in front of the farm of Mr. and Mrs. Guillenoteau, within one meter of the ground, in an impressive silence and the farmer noted oily traces in the grass.
In Lézignan, it was at the same time flying and giant: ten meters in diameter! Three meters only, the one that landed in the garden of Mr. Jean Labonne, in Bergerac, but on three crutches.
Lastly, the "saucers" cannot always be approached: that of Lésignan, again, wrapped Misters André Garcia and André Darzens of a bright gleam before disappearing. The one in Clermont-Ferrand literally nailed the witnesses who wanted to see it closely on the spot and released a strong nitro-benzene odor.
When the machine moved away, faintness ceased with the odor.
Odorous, colored and inhabited, the "saucers" are also international. In Mantova, they passed in tight formations and one of them was detached from the group to make a small air carrousel show which lasted one hour... and blocked the traffic in the center of the city, the witnesses having gone down in the street for better seeing.
In Roverbella, finally, a poor fisherman entered in conversation with a "Martian", dressed in red, but they were unable to understand each other and his interlocutor disappeared when he saw the fisherman's woman appear. Mysoginic [misogynic], perhaps...

PARIS, 6. - Several Parisians said they saw yesterday afternoon flying saucers moving in the sky of the capital. Bystanders claimed to have seen one at 4:30 p.m., near the porte Dorée.
Mr. Pierre Allouis, cardboard reseller, was traveling in a cab for business when the vehicle was stopped by a red light. Hearing, he said, a shrill whistling sound, he looked through the window and saw a flying vehicle that fled in height, leaving behind a plume of smoke.
Mr. Allouis described the saucer as a disc larger than a normal plane and of silver color.
The same testimony is given by Mr. Gilbert Bason, residing 35, Faubourg St. Antoine, and Mr. Paul Julien, house painter, who lives 3, rue de la Pompe; the latter, however, believes that this is not a saucer but a flying wing that has the shape of a triangle with rounded edges.
BERGERAC, 4. - Mr. Jean Defix, fireman in Bergerac and Jean Labonne stated they have seen landing in the garden of the latter, a luminous disc about three meters in diameter, supported by three legs.
LEZIGNAN, 6. - Two residents of Lezignan Misters André Gardia and André Darsens, who were driving in a truck on the main road 3, said they saw a disc-shaped craft rise in a field between the village of Lagrasse and the hamlet of Villemagne (Aude).
The craft, they said, was about ten meters in diameter. Before they could approach it, it wrapped a bright glow and disappeared.
DINAN, 6. - In Mégrit (Côtes-du-Nord), a young farmer, Mr. Hen [missing part]
[...]oped MM. Andre and Andre Guardia Darsens of a glow before disappearing. The one in Clermont-Ferrand literally transfixed witnesses who wanted to see it up close and it emitted a strong smell of nitro-benzine.
When the craft moved away, the discomfort ceased like the smell.
Mr. Lehérissé claimed to have seen in the yard of his farm a craft of about 1 meter in diameter, within which appeared two human forms, motionless and the size of a child.

Quimper. -- Around 4 o'clock in the morning, Mr. Pierre Lucas, a bakery worker in Loctudy (Finistère), who was busy drawing water from the courtyard of the bakery, suddenly saw in the night a craft in the shape of a saucer of 2 meters 50 to 3 meters in diameter.
The baker managed to keep his cool and returned to the bakery, where the stranger followed him.
In the light, Mr. Lucas was able to stare at the visitor. He had an oval face, all covered with hair and eyes the size of a crow's egg.
The young man called his boss, but before he had time to come down, the nocturnal stranger had disappeared, as well as his saucer, of which no trace was found.
A beer merchant from Concarneau, for his part, declared having seen in the sky two luminous discs in the form of extended round tables with a kind of tail.
One of the discs was stationary while the other was moving nearby. Both disks disappeared after 10 minutes after launching a rocket.
A "curious sensation in Clermont
Clermont-Ferrand. -- Two saucers were seen in the Clermont sky. The first ten kilometers from Beaumont, at 4:45 p.m.. It was moving in a west-east direction.

At this moment there was a smell of nitro-benzine. Soon the craft moved away, the discomfort ceased and the saucer disappeared.
The other saucer was seen above the hill of Chanturgue near Clermont. It moved vertically and was of a brilliant white.
A saucer was also seen in Billom by a group of thirty people. The craft was flying above the town. It was moving horizontally. It was visible for three or four minutes before disappearing. An intense light emanated from the device.

Dinan. -- In Mégrit (Côtes-du-Nord), a young farmer, Mr. Henri Lehérissé, claimed to have seen in the yard of his farm a craft with a diameter of about one meter inside which appeared two human shapes, motionless and the size of a child.
Nevers. -- At [?], Five residents of Château-Chinon (Nièvre) declared having seen, at very high altitude, a sort of luminous spot; which split into two disks. The object, they say, began to rotate, changing color several times.
Dunkirk. -- A resident of Dunkirk had, several days ago, declared having seen strange luminous objects in the sky of Bray-Dunes. An investigation had been opened. It concluded that they were two military aircraft whose metallic coating could have caused the illusion.
Finally, saucers, discs, cigars, spheres and other flying objects were seen at Granvillars (Territoire de Belfort), at Magnac-Laval (Haute-Vienne), at Saint-Jean-d'Assé (Charente-Maritime), at [...?...], (Côtes-du-Nord).
[Ref. hws1:] HAROLD T. WILKINS:
The author indicates that after November 1, 1954, "Henry Lebrisse, of Aude", reported a small saucer of about three feet in width, containing midget-like entities, in his barnyard. The saucer took off on sight.
[Ref. gbr1] GRAY BARKER:
Two human forms, which looked like children, were observed by a farmer named Henri Lehrisse [sic] to land in his courtyard in a saucer only one yard in diameter. The machine remained in the yard only a few seconds before flashing out again.
[Ref. jgu1:] JIMMY GUIEU:
Jimmy Guieu indicates that on October 5, 1954 in the night in the Côtes du Nord, a young farmer saw posed in the court of his farm a discoid apparatus of low dimension, and by a kind of port-hole, he indistinctly saw two motionless human forms of the size of a child.
Darkness did not enable him to distinguish the precise aspect of these small beings. The apparatus stayed only one moment and took off.
[Ref. aml1] AIME MICHEL:
Aimé Michel reports that on October 4, 1954, in Mégrit, Mr. Henri Lehérissé went outside at about 10:00 p.m. to make his horses drink. Surprised by a strange light, he looked up and saw at about fifty meters above a hangar, motionless in the air, a flat, luminous, object of metal appearance, with a diameter he estimates as 2 meter 50. At his approach, the object quickly moved away. Mr. Lehérissé thought of having seen black shadows agitated as in transparency in the luminous mass.

They tell that a farmer of this village, Mr. Lhérissé, aged 23, came out of his stables where it had just taken care of his horses, when he became puzzled by a strong gleam close to one of his hangars.
He approached, fearing a beginning fire, and then discovers a machine of approximately three meters in diameter, with luminous and metallic reflections.
Not frightened at all, but curious, he approached and distinguished two silhouettes "the size of a child," which almost at once disappeared in the machine.
The machine moved away at high speed.

They then present a third version which they indicate to come from the newspaper Le Provençal for October 3, 1954 and which tells of a "machine, in the farmyard of the witness, of a diameter of one meter approximately, inside whose two motionless human forms of the size of a child appear."

It was guessed that the object seen near Tregon was the same object that showed up at Megrit where a flat, metallic-looking, thing was seen hovering over a farm at a height of only 150 feet. The town of Megrit is only 20 miles or so to the southwest of Tregon. 45.
[Ref. jsr1:] JEAN SIDER:
Jean Sider indicates that on October 4, 1954, at 10:00 p.m., in Mégrit, Côte-d'Armor, Henri Lehérissé left his place to make his horses drink, when a strange light attracted his glance. Looking up, he saw that the light came from a flying machine hovering 50 meters above a hangar. It was a flat object of metallic appearance and a diameter of approximately 2.50 meters.
The witness claimed to have been able to distinguish black forms moving through the transparency of the luminous mass, according to a second source.
Jean Sider indicates as ufological sources "Figuet, pages 122-123" and "Aime Michel, page 175."
He notes that Figuet indicates two other sources, case 192 of the Vallée catalogue, and the newspaper Le Provençal, of Marseilles, for October 3, 1954, that is to say 24 hours before the incident, thus Sider wonders whether it was a mistyping or a mixture of files.

Hello,
I contact you about your article in reference.
I come from Megrit and it so happens that this we [weekend] we were at my father's who still lives there.
My father's companion is the sister in law of Henri Leherisse the person who saw the ufo in the farm of the petite métairie. So it is not Michel like some articles let think.
Henri is still alive, he lives in [-] and spends his holidays in Megrit, we had lunch with him this we [weekend], and he told us what he had seen.
He was going outside to care for his horses when he saw an intense light, going closer he saw 2 black shapes quite small, with behind them a 'saucer' of metallic color with much light that was posed on three feet.
He became scared and rushed inside his home to come outside only the next day.
The next day the saucer had disappeared, however there remained on the ground the print of the 3 feet which would have been seen by several people.
That's the story he told us, it differs a bit from what I could read.
If you want to get in touch again with mr Henri Leherisse, I do not have his address, however my father does, he is mister [Firstname Name] at the village of [City], street [Street].
Good evening to you

4 October 1954.
2200hrs. MEGRIT (COTE D'ARMOR : FRANCE)
Henri Leherisse stepped out of his house to get some water for his dogs when his attention was caught by an unusual light. Looking up, he saw a flat luminous object, with a metallic appearance, about 2-2.5m diameter hovering 45m above a garage. As he approached it, the object moved rapidly away, but not before he had seen dark forms like shadows moving about in the lighted mass.

Possible extraterrestrial visitors.
Unfortunately, while it seems that there was an observation by Mr. Lehérissé and another person in Mégrit; which would have been of interest, the usual incapacity of the French ufologists to seriously document the cases of the 1954 saucer flap render the case practically meaningless.
Indeed, for Aimé Michel, silhouettes are seen in a hovering object, for Jacques Vallée, this is a UFO landing with no mention of occupants, and for Garreau and Lavier, objects and occupants are seen on the ground. so we have three contradictory versions by three different French ufologists.
As none of them considered it useful to publish what the newspaper of the time said, whereas it seems to have been the only source at the time, I would really like to know how anyone can now say for sure what happened in Mégrit that night.
In 2004, a reader who lived in the area at the time tells me that there were two farms in the village of Mégrit and their buildings were contiguous at the time.
The version by the reader of 2015 is likely to be the correct one.
Figuet and Ruchon [fru1] speak of the Le Provençal for October 3, 1954, as a source; this would make the observation date of October 4, 1954, incorrect. However, I observe that all the press sources that I have now are for October 7, 1954, and it seems unlikely to me that a newspaper from the other end of France knew about the case 4 days before all the others.
