Comment: Jean Senac and the dwarfs with sacks, France 1964

1964 · Highway N°21, Tarbes to Castelnau-Magnoac, Tarbes, France

Outside the region. Hind reprinted this case from elsewhere; it has a file here but no place on the map.

What was reported

Hind prints this French case from Flying Saucer Review as a parallel to the Bindura satchel-bearer. At 10:30 one morning early in July 1964, Jean Senac, an old soldier, was on Highway 21 between Tarbes and Castelnau-Magnoac when he saw an extremely bright, shining machine across the road, 2.5 to 3 m long and as high as a car, not quite touching the ground. It suddenly rose and sped away. He then noticed two dwarf-like figures about 1.15 m tall in khaki, bent forward under sack-like loads, walking along the hedge, through it and into bracken toward a big chestnut tree. Minding his cattle, he could not follow; when he returned they had gone.

What Hind made of it

Offered without comment as a comparison to the Bindura figure carrying a satchel.

In their words

  • They seemed to be bent forwards, with a load on their backs
