4/21/57 - Mrs. Gilberte Ausserre and Mrs. Rolande Prevost, Montlucon, France, 1:45 AM

Report Summary	"These witnesses saw a yellow, hemispherical object in the sky; its apparent diameter increased to that of the full moon and then it... suddenly disappeared from the view of the witnesses., and reappeared a few minutes later at a point situated to the right of the first sighting position. This new period of visibility lasted for about 5 mins, then the object vanished again for 5 mins and came back. It went out completely at 2:30 AM. From the underside of the object emerged several filaments of a green and purple color spread like a fan. The brightness was blinding and the shape reminded one of a jellyfish... at some of the reappearances, the object had lost its jellyfish aspect and appeared as a double-bodied object.... Aime Michel... points out that similar observations had been made in 1954 in other parts of France (especially in Lievin, Rue, Marcoing, Armentiers, Milly, Champigny, Corbigny, [and] Montbeliard), but these reports had drawn absolutely no interest except in the local press."[footnote 1]
