Physical Evidence Related to UFO Reports (Sturrock Panel): Injuries to Vegetation

Peter Sturrock In some cases that involve an apparent disturbance to the soil, there may also be an apparent injury to vegetation. Velasco stated that four such cases have been investigated by GEPAN/SEPRA: the “Christelle” case of November 27, 1979; the “Trans-en-Provence” case of January 8, 1981; the “Amarante” case of October 21, 1982; and the “Joe le Taxi” case of September 7, 1987. In the Christelle case, in which grass was flattened in a uniform direction, plant physiology analysis was subsequently carried out by Professor Touze of the Laboratoire de Physiologie Végétale de l’Université Paul Sabatier (the Center for Plant Physiology, Paul Sabatier University), Toulouse.
