A child and the saucer of Neuves-Maisons in 1971

Summary

On November 2, 1971, a child barely six and a half years old saw an object he described as a saucer with two rows of windows. It moved in a straight line at low altitude in complete silence. He tried to follow it but lost sight of it at a crossroads. The account is detailed, yet the witness's age and the 45-year gap before reporting raise questions about the reliability of the memory.

Investigators found no lost balloon matching the described features—colors, size, or windows—complicating identification. GEIPAN classified the case as C due to the lack of verifiable information and the long delay between the event and the report.
