The Cussac incident, also known as the Close encounter of Cussac, was a widely-publicized incident in which four aliens and a UFO were seen by two children, 13-year old François and 9-year old Anne-Marie in 1967. They initially saw four aliens but eventually found a glowing sphere, two meters in diameter. One of the aliens was bending over, and another of the four aliens was holding a strange alien mirror object. The glowing UFO was described as having a soft, whistling sound and smelling of sulfur. The encounter left both of the children shocked.
