[excerpt from the article]
MANY researchers of the UFO phenomenon have already noted that some places seem more favorable than others for this type of manifestation. Examples of such so-called "repeaters" or "repeaters" were highlighted by Jacques Vallee in the United States, Aimee Michel in France, and Antonio Ribera in Spain.
Lumieres Dans La Nuit published materials concerning certain regions in the Department of Doubs (the extreme Eastern border of France bordering Switzerland)that seem to be often crowded with UFOs or that have been the scene of particularly interesting landings.
We found a similar place in the vicinity of Draguignan, in the Department of var (South-Eastern France). Lumieres Dans La Nuit (Contact Ixctcurs) No. 4, November 1971, contained an excellent report by Messrs. Jean Chassin and Francois moll on one of the observations of Draguignan, which took place on March 29, 1971.
I briefly summarize the facts: two young men from Draguignan named Pierre Calafat and Andre bouchot, members of a dance ensemble, go to a secluded house that they have rented for practice. On the night in question, these two arrive first.
As they begin to move along the small road leading to the house, they notice a reddish light overhead. They then observe a large reddish disk, shaped like a plate, flying over a vineyard located next to the house, at a distance of about 150 meters from them.
They Park in the courtyard and watch the UFO make zigzag movements, and then see it stop about ten meters above the ground and just 50 meters away from them. Then, two minutes later, the machine turned around and headed in the direction Flayosc.
It was not until September 11, 1971, that we discovered the tracks left by this UFO
These tracks are located in a field adjacent to the vineyard to the North. The grass is long, grassy, and very thick. When we found the marks, they were still so fresh that they could have been made much later than March, and in any case, in all probability, they were not more than two weeks old.
The main sign is a perfect circle with a diameter of 5.60 meters. Inside this circle, the grass is discolored. Vegetation is smoothed only along the periphery of this circle, or rather, the grass is swept counterclockwise.
The width of this flattened ring is about 0-6 meters.
There were no holes or footprints in the ground to indicate that a landing had actually taken place. To the East of this main marker was a second circle about a meter in diameter. and representing the same change in the color of the grass. The distance between the big circle and the small one was one meter. Check a Geiger counter for radioactivity gave a value of zero.
We didn't find any burn marks on the vineyard itself.
Two trees, an almond tree and a cherry tree, were dead - still in Bud. But since the analysis has not yet been carried out, we do not know whether these two trees died of some disease or as a result of a UFO flyby in March 1971.
Looking through the archives of the newspaper Le Provencal (var edition), we found a report on the observation of a UFO in 1965 in AMI (the place over which the same object flew).

Note that this young man, Christian Fabre of Lorg, who saw a ship "shaped like a flattened cone" near Draguignan in November 1965 , is the same person who appears in case # 4 in Draguignan in March 1968, when he saw a glowing Cigar-shaped ship falling from the sky over the center of Draguignan. (See Chasseigne and Moll, op. Cit., Case No. 4.)

[excerpt from article]
MANY investigators of the UFO phenomenon have already noted that certain places seem to be more favoured than others by this type of manifestation. Examples of such so-called “repeater-cases,” or “repeater-places,” have been emphasised by Jacques Vallee in the USA, by Aime Michel in France, and by Antonio Ribera in Spain.
Lumieres Dans La Nuit has carried material concerning certain regions in the Departement of Doubs (extreme eastern frontier of France, adjoining Switzerland) which seem to be frequently overflown by UFOs, or which have been the scene of particularly interesting landing cases.
We have now discovered a similar site in the vicinity of Draguignan, in the Departement of Var (S.E. France). Lumieres Dans La Nuit (Contact Ixctcurs) No. 4, November 1971, carried an excellent report by Messieurs Jean Chasseigne and Francois Moll1 on one of the Draguignan sightings, which had taken place on March 29, 1971.
I will recapitulate the facts briefly: two young men from Draguignan named Pierre Calafat and Andre Bouchaud, members of a dance band, go to an isolated house which they have rented for the purpose of practising there. On the evening in question, these two are the first to arrive. As soon as they start to drive up the little road leading to the house, they notice a reddish light overhead. Then they observe a large reddish disc, having the shape of a plate, flying around above a vineyard situated beside the house and at a distance of some 150 metres from them (Photo I). They park in the forecourt and watch the UFO performing zigzag movements, and then see it come to a halt at a height of ten metres or so above the ground and only about 50 metres from them. Then, two minutes later, the craft performed a roll and headed away towards Flayosc, which is in the same direction from Les Nourradons as Valensolc.
It was not until September II, 1971, that we found the traces left by this UFO (Photos 2, 3, 4, 5).
These traces are in the field which adjoins the vineyard on the north. The grass there is long, of the graminaceous sort, and very thick. When we found the marks they were so fresh still that they could not have been made in March, but much later, and in any case they could not in all probability have been more than two weeks old. The chief mark is a perfect circle with a diameter of 5’6O metres. Inside this circle the grass is discoloured. The vegetation is flattened only along the periphery of this circle, or, to be more precise, the grass is swept in an anti-clockwise sense. The width of this flattened ring is about 0-6 metre (see photo No. 1). “Inere were no holes in ihe ground, and no marks that would indicate that an actual landing occurred. To the east of this principal mark there was a second circle, about one metre in diameter, and presenting the same discoloration of the grass. The distance between the large circle and the small one was one metre. A Geiger check for radioactivity gave a zero reading.
In the vineyard itself, we found no burn marks.
Two trees, an almond-tree and a cherry-tree, were dead—still in bud. But as the analysis has not yet been carried out, we do not know whether these two trees died of some disease, or as a result of the UFO fly-over of March 1971.
While looking through the archives of the newspaper Le Provencal (Var edition) we found a UFO sighting report of 1965. Ami the place overflown is the same….
——————————
So it looks as though there might bs a good many areas in which the UFOs have the greatest interest. We shall have taken a big step forward when we are able to know what it is that attracts them to these places. In the meantime, we are going to concentrate our UFO detectors on this area of Les Nourradons, which has been the scene of a wave—or perhaps one should say, a “cluster”-since 1966. Maybe we shall get some valuable information. At least, that is, if our unobtrusive visitors are good enough to let us have the necessary time for it.
