A 1921 alien abduction report in a 1954 issue of “Paris Match” magazine, beings in diving suits dragged the victim

Source – MUFON, 309

About the witness we know only three things: his initials (G.B.), that in 1954 he lived in Marseille, and that he was eight years old at the time of his experience. Nevertheless, the story is interesting. Here is the letter:

“In 1921, a very hot year, I was playing one day along the banks of the Canal du Nord. I was 8 years old and I loved to play in the moonlike landscape created by both the construction and the war.

Suddenly two beings dressed in a kind of flexible diving suit sprang from among the acacia trees. Without further ado, they dragged me toward what I thought was a strangely shaped tank. They raised me into the machine, without my being able to resist. I should say, “without my being able to want to resist.’ All of a sudden, I started to cry and I don’t know if they were moved, but after several minutes, an opening appeared in the ceiling of the room, and in several seconds I was back on the ground.

However, I had to walk a large part of the afternoon before returning to the road I had left five minutes earlier. When I got home at night my parents accused me of lying, and no one ever wanted to believe my story.

I can hardly give details about the apparatus and its room, I was probably too upset. I remember only two details: There were square port holes, or at least rectangular. The room had a kind of flexible couch on which I sat.

I think I remember that the diving suits looked metallic. I don’t remember anything about the beings’ anatomy, except that they were very tall and very slender.”
