Meral (France) — October 14, 1954
A farmer observed an orange sphere nightfall land and went near it. lie found it was shaped like a flattened dome, 55 m in diameter, and gave off a blinding light, which illuminated the countryside for about 200 m. It was transparent, and a dark figure could be seen inside. After remaining at ground level for 10 min it flew north, while a bright cloud slowly fell to the ground at the site. When the witness ar- rived home, he found his clothes covered with a white film of adhesive substance, not unlike paraffin wax. (62; M 174)
