Title: Flying saucers and the straight-line mystery
First published: 1958
Description: Aime Michel's survey of UFO landing reports from the French wave of 1954. He found that each day's UFO reports, when plotted
on a map, formed a complex pattern of straight lines. Later researchers have claimed that the patterns are random, but one alignment, the Bayonne-Vichy line (BAVIC), was shown by David Saunders (ex member of the University of Colorado UFO project)
to be statistically very highly significant. Michel later found that many historical persons and events could also be correlated with BAVIC.
Subjects: UFOs, landings, occupants, alignments
Time periods: France, 1954
