HUMANOID SIGHTINGS IN THE NORTH-EST OF FRANCE - Robé R. & Abrassart, J.-M.

Humans seemed to have encountered humanoids since the down of time. Over time, several anomalous
explanations have been provided for them: religious (in the case of Virgin Mary sightings for example), the
fairy lore (elves, gnomes and so forth) and, more recently, aliens as part of the UFO lore. We compiled all
the humanoid sightings we could find in the North-East of France (the area where the Comité Nord-Est des
Groupes Ufologiques, our team, is active). We looked for sightings between 1900 to 2018 and collected
them in our database. Instead of looking only for RR3, we searched for any humanoid sightings related to
the UFO phenomenon or not, without preselection of any kind. We consulted paranormal and ufological
books, investigations, but also newspaper articles, local urban legends, gendarmery reports and so on. Our
goal was to be as thorough as possible, but of course we cannot claim that this database is fully complete
and that no case has escaped our search. We didn’t look especially for fairy sightings, or religious figure
sightings or alien sightings: our methodology was to search for any humanoid sightings, whatever the
interpretation that was proposed for it by the witness or the person who reported it (journalist, paranormal
investigator and so on). In other words, we adopted an atheoretical posture to study humanoid sightings. We
found 75 cases in total. Our team think that they found a plausible explanation for around 60 cases, which
leaves 15 cases unexplained so far. We will present four specific cases that we find particularly interesting
in more details.
