>Dear List,

>>This is the largest single UFO wave on record.

>The fall 1954 french UFO wave was researched again last years by
>ufologist Jean Sider who discovered in local newspapers a lot of
>"new" cases, some of them very interesting.  Sider did a great
>research work and have shown that the fall 1954 wave was really
>a major event in UFO history.

>Unfortunately, all the new material found by Sider is in french.
>But if you can read french, you can find it in several issues of
>the best french UFO review, LUMIERES DANS LA NUIT, and in a two
>volumes book published in trade paperback format by Editions
>Ramuel, a small publisher : LE DOSSIER 54 ET L'IMPOSTURE
>RATIONALISTE. The first volume examines new cases and adds infos
>to old ones and the second volume, in a larger format, offers
>120 pages of newspapers articles and others UFO related items of
>1954 in fac-simil=E9.

>LUMIERES DANS LA NUIT's address is BP 1128, 86062 POITIERS
>CEDEX, FRANCE. Each issue cost 49FF (around US$8.00) but,

Dear Richard:

A very dear friend has sent me copies of the entire run of LDLNs
from issue # 92 through #216, plus a pile of more recent issues.

LDLN is the single richest source of detailed UFO accounts in my
entire database, some 1817 cases (10.43%) of the entire
compliment of 17,428 listings.

I literally learned to read French because of LDLN! I still
cannot speak it, sadly..

As I read your message above, I looked over my desk.

Not 3 feet away, is the two volume set of Jean Sider's Le
Dossier 1954 et L'Imposture Rationaliste !    Some coincidence
eh? I am still digging thru these two books.

Due to fine sources like these,  and others like the Figuet -
Ruchon OVNI book (a bible really) France is second only so the
United States in sheer number of UFO listings in the *U*
Database.

Please see the following link for a full list of *U* sources:

from the main page:

I am adding maps and other screens right now.

Very best wishes
