1976 . POISSY (YVELI NES)

I have to get on with life today so before I do allow me to demonstrate why non-English publications, or the reports in them, need to be translated:

DEBUT MAl 1 976 . POISSY (YVELI NES)
Une classe de l 'école des Sablons se promenait avec son instituteur à la mare aux canes dans le parc des Charmi lles, quand deux des enfants virent de loin un être«avec une tête violette sans bouche, sans oreil les, avec le corps couvert de poi ls gris; il etait très grand (environ 2m) , et entouré d'étranges lueurs» . Des traces d'atterrissages auraient été trouvées, on parle de soucoupes volantes, mais aussi de canular ..
(«Paris Poissy» du 1 7-5-76)

Lumieres dans la Nuit  no. 157.  That is it.  I've checked issues after it as well as French publications from around the time. No more.  It translates out in English as:

BEGINNING MARCH 1 976. POISSY (YVELI NES)

A class from the Sablons school was walking with his teacher to the cane pond in the Charmi lles Park, when two children saw from afar a being with a violet head without mouth, without eyes, with the body covered with gray skin; he was very big (about 2m), and surrounded by strange lights. Traces of landings would have been found, we are talking about flying saucers, but also hoax ..

("Paris Poissy" of 1 7-5-76)

And here is how it appears on many online sites:

"Summary:  Four children from the Sablons School, out with their class near a pond, observe at some distance a figure approximately 6-foot tall. He was covered with gray black hair, had a small, round head, wrinkled and violet colored, and he held his arms in front of him, slightly bent. He appeared to move without taking strides, gliding smoothly over the ground at a rather high speed. The children were unable to seen any legs. His body seemed to be surrounded by a “transparent light,” creating an effect similar to the head waves above a toaster. Frightened, the children ran to find their teacher who, upon returning to the scene, was unable to find any trace of the monster. Although there was no object seen, there was much talk of “flying saucers.”

Source and person is correct but the account is less than accurate and has been added to.  Anyone know of more details about this case because I have given up -my French is not capable of proper searching other than date, time and location.

Let's try to get a tiny bit of accuracy into these online sources shall we?
