October 9, 1954, Le Bourget, Seine-Saint-Denis:

Reference for this case: 9-Oct-54-Le Bourget.
Please cite this reference in any correspondence with me regarding this case.

Summary:

In the 1950s, Guy Quincy, a French archivist interested in the question of the "mysterious celestial objects", compiled a catalog of sightings, without source or details, in which he noted a sighting on October 9, 1954, at 09:20 p.m. on Route Nationale 2 northeast of Le Bourget in the Seine-et-Marne, including engine stops and traffic jams.

Reports:

[Ref. gqy1:] GUY QUINCY:

Scan.

October 9 [, 1954]

[... other cases...]

Id. [= 09:20 p.m.]: Nationale 2 (NE Le Bourget--S.et-M.): engines stops and car jam

[... other cases...]

Explanations:

Map.

Totally insufficient information.

Aimé Michel did mention several cases with "engine stops" on this date and around this hour (see my catalog), but described them very summarily; Guy Quincy is certainly not clearer.
