Location: 2 km from Amfreville la mi-Voie

The witness was questioned directly in 1972 by ufology group OURANOS and the report was published in the magazine *Phénomènes Inconnus* No. 4.

The witness is a woman, Mrs. S., who remained anonymous, aged 57 at the time of the incident.

The observation dates from the first half of July 1947, the precise date remains marked in the memory of the witness following a serious accident which occurred in her family at that time. The witness was riding on a bicycle, when she spotted on the road a posed object, of unusual appearance.

The witness advanced up to a hundred meters and saw an oval object, matt grey, placed on the ground, without any landing support. Its length was about three meters. Its height between one meter to two meters.

In the vicinity of the object, two beings oddly dressed in grey clothes, with a hat without rebound grey colour too, were busy in a task difficult to define. The size of these beings did not exceed one meter. On the apparatus, the witness could notice an opening of about fifty centimeters, situated slightly behind the central axis of the object taking into account the side by which the latter was moving.

Reaching about a hundred meters from the object, the witness got off her bicycle and used the bell of the latter to signal her presence. It was then that the two humanoids turned around and saw the witness.

Immediately, they rushed towards the apparatus and went up in the circular opening. The object then rose, without noise, vertically, up to a hundred meters of altitude. At this distance, it stopped for a few moments while oscillating on itself to leave again at high speed towards Sotteville-lès-Rouen (in the south-east of the place of the landing). The whole thing had occurred in the utmost silence.

"This observation is similar to many cases in our files, coming from all over the world. The witness enjoys an excellent reputation. Mrs. S. is very sharp, despite her age (82 years). She has her conscience and reminded us of this memory with great precision. It is unthinkable to question her good faith."

Quote from the witness -

*“While arriving at a hundred meters of this thing, I stopped, and I rung my bicycle’s bell. The two little beings stood up again, saw me. They rushed into their craft. The craft rose vertically up to some hundred meters. It immobilized while oscillating for a few seconds, then went away at fast speed.”*
