France UFO Landing 1954
This case of a UFO landing comes from construction site in France and occurred at 4pm on September 30th, 1954. George Gatay who was a foreman of an eight man construction crew was unexpectedly drawn away from his crew feeling a sense of “drowsiness” he was walking but he did not know were he was walking or why for that matter. A short distance from his construction site Gatay was amazed to encounter a man standing on a slope, some 30 feet away from him.
The “man” was wearing an opaque glass helmet with a large visor. He was also wearing grey coveralls and short boots he also held an object in his hand, which Gatay described as a weapon of some kind, like a rod. There was also a kind of electronic instrument display on his chest. This strange looking man was standing in front of a dome-shaped object which hovered 3 feet from the ground. The craft had a cupola with a blade-like device above it. Gatay was frozen in his tracks at the amazing sight he was witnessing.
Gatay Said - "Suddenly, the strange man vanished, and I couldn't explain how he did it, since he did not disappear from my field of vision by walking away, but vanished like an image one erases. Then I heard a strong whistling sound which drowned the noise of our excavators. Soon the object rose by successive jerks, in a vertical direction, and then it too was erased in a sort of blue haze, as if by a miracle."
Gatay could not move and strangely his seven co-workers were also in a sort of dazed and confused state. As soon as Gatay was no longer frozen on the spot he ran back to his co-workers asking if they had seen it and the co-workers were saying “Yes it was a flying saucer”. Another of the men, excavator driver Mr. Lubanovic added, "There was a man dressed like a diver in front of it." The other workers all added their confirmation to the strange event.
Gatay was well known and respected in the community who had fought in the war with the French Resistance and was wounded in Luxembourg after the sighting he began to suffer from insomnia and strong headaches and event loss of appetite which ;lasted for about a week. After a while the men believed they had encountered some sort of experimental craft. This explanation however does not add up since the craft just disappeared right before there eyes what craft event experimental can do that?
