Case description

A brief catalogue account places three women in a car near Trois-Rivières airport on 11 July 1970, around 21:00, when a white cloud containing a thin figure crossed their route. Donald Cyr's 2009 retelling names Pauline Bédard as driver, with Yrène Deslauriers and Lise Doré, and places them on Boulevard Saint-Jean in warm, clear evening weather. Those names and expanded scene details come from the later retelling. The cloud was estimated at roughly 10 feet high and 4 feet wide. Within it the women reportedly saw a tall, thin outline with a pointed face, leaning forward in a posture compared to a discus thrower. It appeared to glide without contacting the road. Pauline reportedly braked as the cloud crossed. The shorter catalogue version describes the car passing through the cloud and the figure vanishing; the expanded account should not be treated as a photographic description of anatomy. Cyr also recounts a delay before the women discussed the experience, interpreting it as partial amnesia and speculating about unusual propulsion or time effects. Those interpretations are not independently established findings, and no actual levitation device or spacecraft was described. A different Trois-Rivières story involving several figures and teenagers in 1969 is a separate case. This plate retains the mist-bound outline, three observers and roadway while identifying the expanded material as a later retelling.
