Children saw four dwarfish creatures.
Children were terrified by four dwarfish creatures dressed in black clothing, about one meter tall, who moved very rapidly among the bushes. They were dark-skinned, had bulging eyes, and spoke among themselves in a strange, musical dialect. Objects were observed. Traces found.An unidentified object at close range and its occupants, about 20 feet across, were observed by seven witnesses, typical age 13, in a forest for a few seconds. Three black dwarves were seen.
A 5-year old girl, Patricia Bepoix, ran to her parents in terror, saying she had come upon some "little Chinamen" who had tried to catch her. 15-year old Joelle Ravier went to the spot and saw a strange little creature running very fast among the bushes, with leg movements more rapid that a human's. The being was 3-foot tall, black, and had a protuberant belly and very short legs; his arms were not seen. He wore a short jacket that floated behind him as he ran. Joelle and another, Marie Reine Mairot, also heard someone beyond the bushes talking in a strange singsong fashion. More than a dozen yellow patches subsequently appeared in the grass at the site. Several hours later, there were widespread reports of objects and fireballs by hundreds of people all over Europe; it was reported that these sightings were the result of satellite re-entry decay or, possibly, a spectacular fireball. Traces were found; a circle of burnt grass 4 meters in diameter, and 3 prints of little feet." "We now know that the beings in question were already in the area 3 days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and 15th by an agricultural worker."
