Farm /, FR being encounter — January 6, 1967

The Atlas’s January 6, 1967, Aveyron farm entry compresses a longer series of observations. In Jacques Vallée’s account, a farmer went outside to check animals and saw a luminous sphere about 50 yards away. When he tried to circle behind it, the sphere reportedly changed position and blocked a narrow path after following him for roughly 60 metres. The farmer called his son. Together they described six spheres and a larger luminous, shell-like object whose concentrated beam swept across rooms of the farmhouse. The lights disappeared around 11–11:15 p.m. Vallée places the two-cupola disc and its apparent human-like occupants in a later encounter on January 11, not during the January 6 approach. The son cautiously described figures wearing green outfits trimmed with white. The later book-writing claim also belongs to the broader aftermath: Vallée recounts recurrent dreams involving red-clad men holding books. It should not be presented as a recorded conversation at the January 6 sphere. Fernand Lagarde investigated the family’s reports, but that does not independently validate their interpretation. The plate labels the January 6 lights and January 11 occupants as separate phases, preserving their sequence and the witness’s uncertainty about what was visible inside the domes.
