Very quickly, via a local journalist, the incident receives publicity which the close encounter stories seldom enjoy. On July 12, the story is reported in "Le Progrès" de Lyon and "Le Dauphiné Libéré." It is true that the story is unusual: How to conceive that the car remained parked, lights extinguished, on the edge of a very well traveled road, without causing an accident and without anybody coming to check it out? How to conceive that the presence of this luminous mass on the road did not interfere with traffic, heavy even during the night at this time of the year? How to understand, finally, that the girl could put her hands in front of her eyes at 1:15 in the morning, to withdraw them only towards 3:45 AM?

All these questions encouraged André Revol, an investigator of the Commission Ouranos, to utilize a hypnotist known in the area under the pseudonym of Stephan Dey. The idea to have recourse to this technique was probably in the air, since in "Le Dauphiné Libéré" of July 23, André Chaloin, ufologist of long standing and respected member of the AAMT, suggested employment of it. In fact, a first hypnosis session had already been done by Stephan Dey on the day before, July 22, in Saint-Marcellin.

The results of this session were reported by FR3 and were published in the August 13 edition of "Le Dauphiné Libéré." A second hypnosis session took place on August 18, in the presence of several journalists. The revelations produced under hypnosis were published in No. 1564 of "France Dimanche," also in "Le Progrès" and several other newspapers including, finally, "Nostra."

What Helene Guiliana had revealed under hypnosis was enough to make one tremble: Two dwarves had approached her car, had succeeded in seizing her, and had taken her to the machine which was in the middle of the luminescent orange mass. There, they had laid her out on a table, and one of them, with a kind of lamp-torch, had made circles of light on her pullover. Everything in the round part of the machine, where she was, seemed made of metal, and there were white, red and yellow lights.

Of her kidnappers, Helene gave the following description: They were small (they came to about chest height on her), ugly, with a small squashed nose and a very small mouth. They were dressed in tight-fitting spacesuits that also covered their heads. The only notable differences between Helene's statements of July 22 and August 18 relate to the color of their skin (at first described as yellow, then as normal) and of their clothing (violet, then black). These dwarves made many agitated gestures, as if they had been aggravated by not being able to communicate something to their prisoner. They finally brought her back to her car.
