*This is a literal translation of the words ia the text. It is difficult to kno~
what the writer means by 11successivement mobile et rapid" - unless "mobile"
(moving) is, in fact, a misprint for "immobile" (motionless) whereupon the entry
would read "successively motionless and fast" which would make slightly better
sense.

Effects on observers and various effects
In France, apart fro~ the effect of surprise, only minor effects were recorded
on observers who reported on their observations to the police. None of them was
traumatized by his experience nor underwent any psychological change.
To date, none of them claims to have received a "mission" or bas created any
ideological group based on the claim that he is the prophetic mouthpiece of the
"apparition".
Similarly domestic. ani~s seem only slightly disturbed by the phenomenon.
