The article below was published in the daily newspaper Le Monde, France, on October 5, 1954.
Mr. Jean Nocher, deputy of the Loire, asked, in a written question, to Mr. Diomède Catroux "whether his predecessors at the secretariat of the air had taken care, as one did in the United States and in the U.S.S.R. long ago, to open an investigation into the presence in our atmosphere of unidentified flying objects".
In the affirmative, the deputy of the Loire asks that the publishable results of these investigations are shown.
In the contrary assumption, Mr. Jean Nocher wishes that one constitutes a scientific commission to study the reported phenomena to "separate the truth from the errors or possible mystifications".
