Marliens Close Encounter Case

The Marliens close encounter case is a classic French trace case from May 1967, centered on bizarre ground marks found in a clover field near Marliens in Côte-d'Or. With gendarmerie sketches, mauve granular residue, later claims of partially fused silica, and a long ufological afterlife, it remains one of the most unusual landing-trace stories in French UFO history.
