Luce Fontaine, 31, a farmer of Reunion, was picking some grass for his rabbits when he saw, 25 yards away, an object 12-15 ft in diameter like two metallic saucers put face to face, standing on a "glass foot" like a goblet's; on its top it bore another such "foot." It was dark blue but had a large central window, through which could be seen two small individuals, only 3 ft tall, dressed from head to foot in bulky coveralls, something like a Michelin "tire man." Both wore helmets that partially masked their faces. They turned their backs and there was a brilliant flash of light, and a sensation of heat, with a blast of wind; a few seconds later nothing was to be seen. There was a local police investigation.
