Auihor's ir:_yestigation of claim by Maurice Masse that on July 1, 1965, he saw
a hnded football-shaped flying machine and i~ pilot in his lavender field
pr.:xluces new facts. Among them: (I) during the week preceding the alleged
inddent, Masse and his father noticed that young lavender plants were damaged
as though someone were taking cutting~ from them; (2) when the UFO flew away,
it accele1-ated rapidly and then vanished completely twenty yards away; (3) Masse's
"IXU"alysis" may have been due to post-hy11.1otic suggestion since "real" ~a-
lysis would have stopped the heart muscles; and (4) Masse may not be revealing
all the details of his encounter with the UFO ''pilot. " Reprinted from Flying
