Source: Flying Saucer Review V 20 N 3 Date: August 27th, 1960 Location: Yssandon, France Monsieur and Madame Plumauzille were driving in their car along the secondary road that runs from La Prodelie to Ayen, in the departement of Correze. The road is winding, and is bordered, down on the right, by a meadow with many walnut trees. Suddenly, M. Plumauzille notices a reddish-violet light, with no precise outlines, level with the trees on the right hand side of the road. At first he thinks it is quite far away, but then he sees it rise and he realizes that it is only about 100 metres from them. Almost directly after that, he sees, lit up by his headlights, and also on the right hand side of the road, a mass of the size of a big sack of potatoes which is rapidly contracting and seems to be collapsing inwardly upon itself. And then both he and his wife see a number of other masses similar to the first one, but smaller, of the size, say, of Rugby footballs, "humpy," misshapen, moving about in the grass in the ditch beside the road. At least two of them cross the road in front of the approaching car and disappear in the bracken in the ditch on the left. The car was not travelling very fast and the two witnesses feel no shock - at least not in the physical sense of the word - and they do not think that the car hit any of the objects. M. Plumauzille does not stop. The reddish-violet light in the sky has vanished. The sighting is over Description of the shapes - Madame Plumauzille saw three or four of the "things," one of them being larger than the other two. She compares their form to that type of big knobbly potatoes which have globular excrescences. The movements of the objects put her in mind of the movement of a sack with a person or an animal inside it. She thinks that it was this deformation that enabled the shapes to move, by contraction, by the inflation and deflation of their swellings. The bodies were not luminous in themselves, and were only visible because the car headlights lit them up. Their colour was a light brownish-grey, comparable to the colour of wrapping paper or a jute sack, but their surface looked smooth. Monsieur Plumauzille thinks their appearance reminds him of a transparent plastic bag, and their movement suggests to him the movement of an animal imprisoned in such a bag. He thinks the bodies were there in quite large numbers: "They were all over the place, down below the road...the place was just swarming with them...we might very easily have run over one of them..." Everything induces him to think that they had been put down there by the luminous red mass. Madame Plumauzille had the impression that they were trying, perhaps awkwardly, to escape from the car and hide behind the bank on the left hand side of the road submitted by /u/Shiny-Tie-126 [link] [comments]
