Near the French village of Valensole, farmer Maurice Masse was smoking a
|
|
cigarette just before starting work at 5:45 A.M. on July 1, 1965, when an
|
|
object came out of the sky and landed in a lavender field 200 feet away.
|
|
Annoyed and assuming that a helicopter had made an unauthorized landing, he
|
|
walked toward it. However, he soon saw it was no helicopter but an oval-shaped
|
|
structure resting on four legs. In front of it stood two figures, not quite
|
|
four feet tall, dressed in tight gray-green clothes. Their heads were oversize
|
|
and with sharp chins, their eyes were large and slanted, and they were making
|
|
a "grumbling" noise.
|
|
|
|
One of the beings pointed a pencillike device at Masse, paralyzing him in his
|
|
tracks. The figures entered the UFO and flew away, and the witness needed 20
|
|
minutes to recover his mobility. In its wake the object left a deep hole and a
|
|
moist area that soon hardened like concrete. Plants in the vicinity decayed,
|
|
and analysis found a higher amount of calcium at the landing site than
|
|
elsewhere.
|
|
|
|
The Valensole case is considered one of the classic UFO incidents.
|
|
Investigations by official and civilian agencies confirmed Masse's sincerity
|
|
and good character. Laboratory study of the affected soil and plants confirmed
|
|
the occurrence of an unusual event. Subsequently, Masse confided that in the
|
|
course of the encounter he experienced some sort of communication with the
|
|
entities.
