Case description
Lévis Brosseau recalled that, when he was about twenty, he returned to his family's farm at Ferme-Neuve, Quebec, on an evening around June 15, 1929. A dark cloud and yellowish illumination over a hillside initially made him think a thunderstorm was approaching. After reaching the stable, he unharnessed his horse and led it toward pasture across a stream and through a gate.
From the hillside clearing he reportedly noticed a large disc roughly 150 feet away. Four or five small, indistinct figures moved near it, accompanied by voices resembling children's voices. Their clothing appeared whitish or yellowish. His frightened horse raised its head, snorted and bolted through the open gate.
Brosseau said the object rose with a purring sound he compared to a milk separator and passed over the barn and himself. He estimated its diameter at fifty feet and described illuminated windows and regularly spaced dark features around its edge. He recalled a rush of air, slight ground vibration and voices growing louder, but said he felt well afterward. A search the following day reportedly found no evidence.
Henri Bordeleau published the recollection in September 1968, nearly forty years after the supposed event; an English translation appeared in Saucers, Space & Science. Brosseau associated his memory with anticipation of the British airship R100, although its Canadian visit occurred in 1930. That mismatch leaves the year uncertain and does not itself identify what he saw.
