Date: May 1950
Location: Vaux en Dieulet, near Buzancy, France
Time: 0630A
Summary: Mr. Pierrard and his sister’s daughter, 14-year old Madeleine had gone to check on the cows accompanied by their dog. As they were crossing the field, the young girl screamed and pointed to the sky to what at first she thought was the sun. They then heard a strange noise, resembling: “hou, hou, hou”. It was a ball of fire that approached them and passed in front of the pair. The object stopped to hover and both noticed that it was in fact a saucer shaped object, made out of a completely translucent material, like glass. Inside they could clearly see a small “man” about 1.40 m in height, with arms on its side, wearing what appeared to be a tight-fitting diving suit, he was absolutely motionless. His suit resembled that of the popular “Michelin” man ads. He wore something resembling a motorcycle helmet with a visor made out of a clear Plexiglas like material; it had two pipes that connected to two bottles above its shoulders. Both witnesses felt totally paralyzed during the observation and felt a heat wave enveloping them. After two minutes the object rose then turned slightly on itself while going up in successive steps, emitting the same noise as the beginning. The object disappeared in the direction of Buzancy. A scorched area was found on the ground.

Date: May 1950
Location: Desierto de los Leones, Distrito Federal, Mexico
Time: evening
Summary: Samael Aun Weor (Victor Manuel Gomez Rodriguez) was out sightseeing in the area when he suddenly caught sight of a strange craft that slowly descended into a clearing. Curious he approached the area and was surprised to see a spherical craft somewhat flattened at the top, which had landed on a tripod-like landing gear. A hatch-like opening became visible and a man of medium stature, thin, with bronze skin, blue eyes and a broad forehead stepped out, descending to the ground on a small metallic ladder. He carried an unknown object on his right hand. Several similar figures, both male and female closely followed behind him. Unafraid the witness approached the group and saluted them in Spanish, which they answered in perfect Spanish also. The witness was impressed when the visitors told him that they knew all the languages on Earth. At this point Samael felt an immense yearning to visit other worlds in the universe, and grabbing one of the tripod legs he asked the leader of the group if they could take him to Mars. The alien leader acted surprised and told the witness that why Mars, that it was to close. At this point the leader called to the other group and they held a meeting sitting on top of several dead tree trunks. Again the witness approached and begged them to take him to visit other civilizations in space. Their leader remained quiet, while the group remained sitting on the tree trunks. One of the female aliens then stood up and told the witness a strange parable, “If we take a perfumed scented plant and place it next to one that’s not, it is obvious that the one who is not will eventually absorb the aroma of the scented plant, isn’t that right?” The witness agreed. She then mentioned that the same applies with other worlds that at first were “on the wrong path” but little by little were radiated by the positive vibrations of other worlds and eventually changed for the better. She then pointed out that for some unknown reason the same was not true for the planet Earth. “What is happening with your earth”? She added. The witness was at a loss for words and could only said that earth was “a mistake of the Gods”. The rest of the alien crew seemed to agree with a respectful bow of their heads. Soon they all stood up and prepared to leave, but not before the witness asked them one more time. Their leader’s only response was that “We will watch you along the way”. At this point Samael understood that he was not ready. He stood and watched as the alien group re-entered their craft. He stood back and watch the object rotate on its axis and rise slowly into the air and then shoot away at tremendous speed.

Date: May 1950
Location: Vaux en Dieulet, Ardennes, France
Time: 06:30
Summary: Ardennes resident and ufologist Jean-Michel Ligeron indicated in 1981 that he collected the testimony of Madeleine Pierrard, aged 14 when she experienced a closer encounter of the 3rd kind in Vaux en Dieulet, in May 1950. At 06:30, as usual, she went up to the meadows with her father and accompanied by their dog, to go get the cows. Arrived at the height of the park, she suddenly exclaimed: “Look Dad, look at the sun, it is terribly near?” They heard a strange noise which she transcribed as “hoo! hoo! hoo! hoo!” and immediately afterwards, something like a ball of fire appeared. When this ball of fire approached, then landed in front of them, and was immobilized, they noted that it was rather a kind of saucer.Her father asked her not to move and not to approach, for fear she would get burned. Right in front of her, inside the completely glass-like translucent object, she saw a small being of approximately 1.40 meters in height, arms spread as if it was obstructed by the diving suit that he was wearing. It was absolutely motionless and made her think of the “Michelin man.” He carried a kind of motorcyclist helmet with a transparent visor and two pipes were apparently connected to two bottles above its shoulders. What shocked her the most was that it seemed to stare at her constantly. She felt completely paralyzed during all the observation, and felt a heat stroke similar to that felt when one gets a suntan. She did not move during this period which lasted approximately two minutes. Then, the object rose like a spinning top, while turning slightly on itself, going up by successive steps, emitting the same noise as at the beginning, and then it moved away and was lost of sight in the direction to Buzancy.

Sperry with about 10,000 flying hours, copilot Bill Gates, flight engineer Robert Arnholt, a stewardess and 2-3 or 8 passengers on a DC-6 airliner headed 230° (about SW) out of Washington, D.C., en route to Nashville, at 7,500 ft at 250 mph, saw a spindle-shaped 150 ft long metallic object with intense blue light (about mag. -6) on the tail, beginning with Gates who sighted blue light from their DC-6 airliner on head on collision course. Sperry made evasive 45° turn to the right (to 275° heading), object passed from 11 o’clock to 7 o’clock position (about 125° or SE) to the left at slightly higher altitude meanwhile crossing in front of upper part of full moon to the S (at 145° or 159° azimuth 22° or 27° elevation, depending on whether EST or EDT time, 97% full) where submarine-like silhouette clearly seen, about 5 miles away. Sperry turned left back onto original course to get the object back in view, object may have stayed stationary about 30 secs at this point. Gates then noticed object circled around to the right side, Sperry banked right again, while the object paced the airliner about 20-30 secs before climbing to the E at a 30° angle at “fantastic” speed and disappearing.
