For those of you who don't know, the French movie director François Truffaut played Jacques Vallée in Steven Spielberg's classic UFO film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
@@wendyerskine6951 You maybe interested to know that during the 1950s, France was going through a UFO flap. One of the most famous cases during that era happened in 1952 called *The Oloron UFO incident.* This was one of a few cases where the witnesses saw Angle Hair coming out of the UFO, the main problem with Angle Hair cases is that this substance can't be scientifically analysed. Because it disintegrates on contact. Oddly enough, I'm also half French.
Vous avez raison, cet incident d'OVNI n'est pas très connu. Vous serez peut-être également surpris d'apprendre que je suis moitié anglais/moitié français et que j'étudie l'ufologie et d'autres sujets paranormaux depuis près de 40 ans.
Thank you! I knew Ive heard of other similar sightings, but had no idea where to even start. These Michelin-man sightings are so unique even within this odd subject and ufo lore, I would’ve found it eventually, but you saved me time :)
Actually they have been seen a few times over the years, not all in french speaking countries. Remember this case & other french ones from 1954 onwards, from reading as a child. Made a change from american cases....
Three similar looking entities were seen in an alleyway in suburban Bolton, England in 1928. They were peering into the lighted windows of a house, possibly trying to get in. They turned towards the witness, made a strange noise and began to approach the witness, who ran off in terror.
@@Kevin-ye8ju ' Bolton? Don't look like rural France to me son; I'll fly next time. Let's knock 'ere...' 😁 1928, that's early. What's the source, please? Cheers.

Well of course! Now Michelin can brag about their universal service, “we got you, no matter where you’re from”. On a more serious note, tire dude reminds me of astronauts and their suits, especially the difficulty of moving, space suits are quite cumbersome. Maybe this was their version, filled with their air?
Binge watching good RUclips channels is preferable to watching tv now. Rarely do I put my tele on unless I hear there’s a good film or interesting documentary on 😊
You are reminding me of Mr Black from BEYOND CREEPY because he does stories we don't know of and he does outstanding research...so congrats and keep up the great work ❤
Another interesting thing about the Michelin Man entity is that many have reported it floating or flying itself and having light emanating from it and afterward they felt very sick and had health issues after.
Interesting story. Appearently there have been other Bibendum sigthings aswell. You’re doing good Scandibro. Thank you for shining a ligth on Nordic sigthings and contacts. Greetings from Norway.
Man, your one hell of an investigator. Finding all these random awesome cases from all over the world! The cases you bring are the BEST! And so much yummy info. makes it fun! Keep up the great work! And Thanks!
Thank You!, Those kind words, were kind, but FACTS! I can't wait to see you do great things with this channel! I'm on your side and support what you do, Now, GO TAKE OVER THE WORLD!!! Let none slow you down, bring you down, Or tear you down. Remember : If all else fails, you always got ME, Cheering you on. Hoping for your success! Like I said: I love you! 😙❤️
There are dozens of cases, possibly more, where people have claimed to see a Michelin man looking entity. Interestingly, almost all have been extremely negative with this entity.
Thank you! Excellent research and narration. Similar entities have been seen in many places all over the world. For instance in 1960 when Antonio Ribera, a local teacher, was on his motorcycle at a crossroads between Arcos de la Frontera and El Bosque (both towns being in the province of Cadiz, Spain) and encountered not one but two “Michelin men”, only they were red in color and tall, approximately two meters. Another difference is that he didn’t see a UFO but the Michelin Men unexplainably disappeared.
Sounds ver much like the craft, with occupants, seen by Lonnie Zamorra in New Mexico 10 years later. The landing traces, deep imprints from legs with a burn at center is precisely the same. Zamorra’s craft was egg shaped with landing legs. He saw two small child sized beings.
So many times I hear people say things like "maybe you dreamed it " ugh 🙄 this remark always frustrates me. Am I the only person in the world that can tell the difference between the dream world and reality. In my life yes I have had some very vivid dreams. I actually speak of my dreams often with my mother and we try and decipher their meaning. But never have I mistaken a dream for reality so I never understand why people ask this question.
Thanks :-)) (just realized I wrote my own nickname wrong on the coffee page ;-) Spent the last three weeks in the beautiful Swedish countryside and looked to the sky quite often but no UFOs for me to see this time. But I must admit that whenever I was sitting and reading in the living room at night I was looking to the window every few minutes to see if some alien was looking through like in that other story a few weeks ago...🤪
After hearing about more than a dozen bibendum i noticed something odd, this man told me in a comment he saw one in his kitchen as a child and he said it was transparent and had one of his mothers nightgowns on. A few months later in his kitchen again but looking out the window he saw one in his yard wearing one of his sweaters. But theres a completely different, kind of famous sighting in france where a man saw two walking near a road at night. But here’s the kicker, he said that one of them was apparently wearing a black boot on one foot. So yeah theres multiple cases wear these particular entities had on random pieces of clothing.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's always great to hear different perspectives and stories about these mysterious entities. Your insights really enrich the conversation!
Sorry to see that you left out all the crisp clear images of the craft, showing their antimatter drives - AND the detailed portraits of all the aliens. Please let us see .....
The tire company should be investigated . Its fascilities searched and fumigated. It may be an alien cover. Those spongey bastards are clever and very tricky.
I truly think that whatever the phenomenon is, it somehow conforms to the local culture. A similar case in Japan had an entity that resembled a creature featured in a Japanese TV program.
It never ceases to amaze and even shock me, just how many people, quite often religious people, who despite very real evidence, refuse to believe that other intelligent life forms exist in what I believe is not one universe, but rather a multi-dimensional multiverse. I also believe that a lot of our strange visitors travel from dimension to dimension, rather than through the space-time continuum. per se. A lot of the doubters' belief stems from them not having had any experiences themselves combined with the Bible's ridiculous claim that extraterrestrials are angels, lol!
@hamishford5486 The ones who are here occupy the same space that your mind does. But they can bring things out of it into reality. Like their ships for example.
> True ? ....mmmmaybe ? In that era the "Michelin man" was en-vogue, apparently.. Notably that later *they* don't wear anything anymore or anyone can scarcely say that witnessed them wearing something ; the other "weird" thing was no more Michelin man at gas stations... ?! Related ? ...who knows ? Monsieur Bibendum ( drinking in Latin, weird motto for tires ) kinda disappeared, Michelin man was born ! >
Look up a windak high pressure flight suit. Not really much like a Michelin man, you’ll see what I mean though. Maybe it was a human high altitude vehicle crash. I’m a believer, just playing devils advocate
Yes. Anything that appears to be made of riveted metal and leaves burn marks with a smell of gasoline is more than likely to be man made and some sort of experimental craft.
For those of you who turn off the comments...Prior to watching a video, I always scan ahead and check out the comments first...NO comments?...I don't watch!
Don't believe it...what they are describing is 'Robbie the Robot' from the film 'Forbidden Planet' which was made in 1956 and aired throughout Europe in 1957/58....even the Spaceship is similar in description to the film....he was having a laugh I think.
I was going to make a critical remark about the stupidity of young people who don't know the difference between "phenomenon" and "phenomena" but since you're from Sweden, I won't.
Life would not be life without these extra-normal incursions. Think how banal and pedestrian it would be. Fear and wonder of the unknown separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom, allowing our imaginations to take flight, our personalities to develop in complex directions. These weird episodes are injected purposely into our reality from beyond, by that force we have multiple names for.
For those of you who don't know, the French movie director François Truffaut played Jacques Vallée in Steven Spielberg's classic UFO film Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

@dominicseanmccann6300 Yes Bolton, England, and yes, 1928! Source: Humanoid Encounters Vol 2 (1900-1929) by Albert S. Rosales, Page 244.
This case reminds me of the case of Luce Fontaine on the île Maurice in July 1968. He saw two entities that also looked like the Michelin man.
Thank you! I knew Ive heard of other similar sightings, but had no idea where to even start. These Michelin-man sightings are so unique even within this odd subject and ufo lore, I would’ve found it eventually, but you saved me time :)

Maybe the craft was just changing a flat tire. Who else better to do that than the Michelin Man?

@@janemiettinen5176- Probably. Because not all extraterrestrials breath oxygen.
@@motorheadforlife9431I wonder what their atmospheres mix is.
@@fanatamon- It could be any atmosphere mix that we know and not know of as of yet.
Thanks for another great story! I’ve never heard this one before. The scary Michelin man drawing was perfect.
Thank you!
I love your channel, I need this channel! Being a witness to something that ruined my Religious beliefs I LOVE these Stories lost!
Thank you! Sad to hear your religious beliefs were lost though.
Strange, one of my earliest recalled nightmares involved the Michilen Man. Whoever came up with that mascot is a monster!
😂 it is a rather odd looking thing
Same! I also had nigthmares of Bibendum as a smal child. Some time between 4 to 6 years old I think.
I can really see what you mean.
You are hitting them out of the park!!!!
Enough great stories (I also refer them as reports) to do some binge watching on night shift this week.

It’s obviously not the Michelin Man. It’s obviously the Stay Puft Man, a demonic entity called forth by Gozer the Gozerian. 😁
Only the crazy French would drive at 120kph in the cold and dark down a country road with frost, for that reason I believe this story

Yes. Anything that appears to be made of riveted metal and leaves burn marks with a smell of gasoline is more than likely to be man made and some sort of experimental craft.
Umm, those 1.4m should have been 14m, as that would be very close to 46ft.
