Whereas the alleged observation of 50 UFOs from Villa Mercedes and in the sector was largely mentioned in ufological literature and the press (for example the La Nouvelle République des Pyrénées for May 12, 1978, Var Matin République for May 15, 1978, I found no source for the landing and the green man.
