Maurice Masse

Lavender farmer in Valensole, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence · witness in France's best-documented close encounter with ground traces (1965)

Biography

He was working his field at dawn when he came upon an egg-shaped object resting on legs and two figures little over a meter tall, which he first described as 'two small children' because of their height. One of them pointed a cylindrical device at him and he was paralyzed without losing consciousness: he could still see, but could not move. His case combines four elements that rarely coincide —reported entities, an immediate physical effect on the witness, a persistent material trace documented by the gendarmerie in real time, and an official unidentified classification— and the physical effects lasted him months.
