Valensole UFO Incident – France

Nearest city: Manosque, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

On July 1, 1965, farmer Maurice Masse encountered a lavender-shaped craft landed in his field, alongside two small grey beings who paralyzed him with a device before departing. The landing site showed hardened soil and altered plant growth that persisted for years, later analysed by GEPAN (France’s official UFO investigation body). Masse suffered long-term health effects and maintained his account until his death. The Valensole incident is regarded as one of Europe’s most credible physical-contact UFO cases.
