A close encounter reported on the night of 1 to 2 November 1968 in southern France by an anonymous physician, aged 38, whose fourteen-month-old son was in the house at the time. The witness described objects outside the house and a beam of light directed at him. The identity and the exact location have never been published, which is why the case is known only by its initial.
What makes it the medical centrepiece of The Invisible College is the sequence afterwards. A haematoma on the leg, from chopping wood three days earlier, disappeared overnight, and so did the residual right-side weakness left by a wound received in the Algerian War about ten years before. A triangular pigmentation then appeared around the witness’s navel, and recurringly on the stomach of the infant son. Jacques Vallee presses exactly one argument from it: a psychosomatic theory that can reach the father cannot reach the baby.
The case was investigated and published by Aime Michel in Flying Saucer Review in 1969, with a second instalment in 1971, both translated into English by Gordon Creighton. It rests on a single anonymous witness and cannot be independently checked, which is the standing limit on it.
