The 1954 French flap:

Flying saucer... or meteorite?

... over Nuits-Saint-Georges and Trouhans

It's no longer very clear. With common sense prevailing, people tend to lean toward a meteorite. Thus, on Thursday evening, in Trouhans, and the following morning, in Nuits-Saint-Georges, several trustworthy witnesses observed a strange ball of blinding light with a greenish trail, all of which dissolved into a sudden violet flash...

So noted.

WHY 1954?

The French flap of 1954 is today more than controversial.

Thus, A.D.R.U.P. wanted to make a compilation of all the documents published in a Burgundy daily newspaper:

"Le Bien Public".

The interest of this catalogue is triple:

• A- to get back in the mood of that too famous year -
• B- recall all the testimonies that appeared in the local press, whether they are good or bad. -
• C- to be used as references for potential researchers of sociological or UFO character.

MONDAY NOVEMBER 8: FLYING SAUCER... OR AEROLITHE? ON NUITS-ST-GEORGES AND TROUHANS -

We do not know very well anymore. Common sense prevailing, we tend rather for the aerolithe. Thus, on the evening of Thursday, at Trouhans, and the next morning, at Nuits, several reliable witnesses observed a curious ball with blinding light, with a greenish trail, all dissolving in a blazing violet glow...
