1967, Cussac, France
Two children encounter UFO and small humanoid beings
Entity Description: 1-1-20 metres tall, not all of the same height. Nos. I and 2 were the smallest, and the tallest was No. 4, the one with a “mirror” in his hand. They were “completely black”, but with a shiny look which Francois compared to that of silk. The children could not be certain whether the colour was that of the beings’ skin, or of some sort of protective suit, for there was no visible dividing line between any possible clothing and the heads of the beings, which were bare. If there was a protective suit of some kind, it was perfectly fitted.
Summary/Description: Two children saw a sphere-shaped UFO, 2 meters in diameter, and “four little devils” on the ground. One of the humanoid beings was bending over, apparently busy with something on the ground, and another held a mirror-like object. They were observed to levitate before quickly entering the UFO and flying away. The UFO was said to make a soft whistling sound and smelled of sulphur.
Francois called out, “Have you come to play with us?” At this moment the small beings, who did not seem to be interested in the children, became aware that they were under observation. The first one took off vertically and then plunged head first through the top of the sphere. The second followed in the same way, and the third, after getting up, did likewise. The fourth also got up, but before diving into the machine, came down again and seemed to pick up something from the ground (his mirror, Francois thinks).
Then he took off again and caught up with the sphere which during this time had begun to rise in a small spiral, and was already 15 or so metres up in the air. He then disappeared inside like the rest. When climbing, the sphere made a soft, fairly piercing whistling noise, mingled with the sound of a breeze which neither of the children felt.
The sphere then made several more circles, climbing al! the while, and in doing so the intensity of the light given off by it increased considerably. Then the sound stopped and the sphere flew off at full speed to the north-west. At the same time, a smell of sulphur began to spread, reaching the children. The cows started lowing and gathered near to those of Francois and Anne-Marie.

Three more 1967 encounters in France:
Six luminous spheres were seen flying over the area. A luminous shaft of light descended towards the ground near the witness. A humanoid figure is seen standing inside the luminous shaft. The being communicates via telepathy with the witness and tells him that someday “He will write a book.”

“Several children observed beings of small stature with protruding stomachs, dressed in black suits, who ran very fast, apparently without touching the ground. Traces were found; a circle of burnt grass 4 meters in diameter, and 3 prints of little feet.” “We now know that the beings in question were already in the area 3 days earlier, since they were seen on the 14th and 15th by an agricultural worker.”

M Louis Monin, 49, outside his house, saw an intensely yellow luminous object coming at very low altitude over a nearby cemetery; he called his 17-year old granddaughter Marie Solange to watch it. The object approached, exhibiting a fat cigar shape; then, after oscillating and turning red-orange, it landed in Monin’s garden, 110 ft away from the observers.
It was about 60 ft long and 20 ft high. At each end of it a jet of “flames,” directed obliquely downward, appeared, and a crackling noise could be heard. Then a stout little man, 3.5-4 ft tall, appeared standing beside the object. No details were noted. Monin and his granddaughter immediately went back into the house to call his wife, but when they came out again the little man was gone, and the UFO now appeared as a red-luminous ball about 25 ft in diameter. This ball took off and was soon lost to view. The observation had lasted for 5 minutes. No traces were left in the garden.

So did he “Write a book”?
Sounds like the same beings in the Ariel Phenomenon.
Looks like priests
A fairly well-known incident. The little beings are similar to many other cases as well. Too bad they've decided to not communicate with us while they do whatever it is they do here.
