In an article on the Web, in 2004, ufologist Didier Gomez discussed the 1954 sightings in his region, and noted that according to an article in the newspaper La Montagne, Aurillac issue for October 8, 1954, "A flying saucer reportedly flew over our region", on Tuesday, thus on October 5, 1954, around 4 p,m.
Didier Gomez indicates that the newspaper spoke of several hundred testimonies of residents of Mauriac who claimed to have observed an ovoid shape without wings, nor fuselage, shining in the sun as if its external surface were nickel plated.
