Case description

At about 1 a.m. on January 31, 1978, a person near Strasbourg, France, reportedly boarded an object described as a saucer approximately twenty-five metres across. The catalogue does not identify the participant or the precise locality. The short account mentions four human-looking occupants and a woman. Its compiler compared aspects of the story with the Antônio Villas-Boas case, but did not preserve enough of the sequence to establish what examination, conversation or other interaction occurred. The available entry does not explain how the participant first approached the object, how long the experience lasted or how the person returned. Those details are not supplied by borrowing from the separate Villas-Boas account.
