Frank Nichols, who lived three kilometers east of Josserand and was one of its most respected citizens, was awakened by a machine noise. Looking outside, he saw a heavy, lighted object land in his wheat field. He walked toward it, was stopped by two men who asked permission to draw water from his well. He then had a discussion with a half-dozen men, the crew of the strange machine. He was told how it worked but could not follow the explanation.

One saucer was observed by two male witnesses, one of them an experienced observor, in a field for a few minutes (Nichols). A whirring sound was heard. Two humanoids were seen.
