UFO's and Defense What Should we Prepare For

4.1 Valensole, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence (Department] (July 1, 1965) I
In-depth investigation by the Gendarmerie Nationale
At Valensole on July 1, 1965, Maurice Masse, who left his home at 5:00 a.m., headed Ifor his lavender fields located on the plateau near the village. Before starting his tractor at
around 6:00 a.m., he lit a cigarette and at that moment heard a hissing sound that attracted
his attention. Emerging from behind a pile of stones, he saw an object resting in his field Iapproximately 90 m from him. Its shape was reminiscent of that of a "Dauphine"
automobile standing on six legs with a central pivot. He approached it with caution, at a
distance of ten meters or so, thinking he might surprise people about to steal his lavender Ifrom him. He then saw two small beings, one of whom, who was turned in his direction,
reportedly pointed a tube at him that he took from a sort of bag hanging on his left side.
Maurice Masse indicated that he was totally immobilized in place, numbed and paralyzed, Ibut completely aware of the events that were unfolding before his eyes. The two beings . J
then got back in their craft. He watched them while they were behind a sort ofdome, and
he heard a heavy noise when the object lifted up off the ground. He also remarked that Ithe tube that was under the object, touching the ground, began to tum, as well as the six ·.A
legs, which retracted under the machine. The object then ascended in a vertical direction
before tilting diagonally and disappearing more rapidly than a jet. Maurice Masse Iremained immobilized in this manner for about 15 minutes before coming to, then
resuming his work and going to tell his story in the village, where the gendarmes, having
learned of the incident, questioned him during the day. IThe Valensole gendarmerie force, then the Digne investigations squad, investigated this
case fo r several days. The investigations of the gendarmerie established the existence, at
the spot indicated by Maurice Masse, ofa depression impressed into the ground, which Ihad been soaked in that place. In the center ofit was a cylindrical hole 18 cm in diameter
and 40 cm deep with smooth walls. At the bottom of the hole were three other bent holes
6 cm in diameter. Along the object's axis offlight, over some one hundred meters, the Ilavender beds were dried up. This phenomenon lasted for several years, during which time
the witness tried in vain to replant the plants within a radius of several meters around the
tracks. IDespite a few contradictory elements in Maurice Masse's account, the data collected by
the two gendarme brigades confirmed the plausibility of the facts, particularly the effect on
the environment and on the witness himself, who slept twelve to fifteen hours a night, Ifollowed by the paralysis of which he had been a victim, for several months. The
investigation into the witness's character did not turn up any specific information that
would permit one to suspect him of mythomaniac behavior or of staging a hoax. I
4.2 Cussac, Cantal (Department] (August 29, 1967) I
GEPAN/SEPRA investigation
The Cussac incident has occupied a special place among the UFO cases, since a second Iinquiry was conducted in 1978, as an example, at the request of the GEP AN scientific
council. On August 29, 1967, at around 10:30 a.m., during a beautiful sunny morning on
the high plateaus in the center of France, two young children were watching the family's Iherd. The dog that accompanied them alerted them that a cow was getting ready to jump
