Quarouble is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.

An alien encounter was reported in the commune in 1954. Calcinated rock was reportedly found at the site of the incident and some witnesses reported experiencing missing time.

Marius Dewilde was a French railway worker who claims to have become a contactee for two extraterrestrial life-forms in 1954.

Dewilde, a railway guardian, lived in a house by the tracks close to the railway station at Quarouble, Nord, France. According to Dewilde, on the night of September 10, 1954, his dog started barking at 22:30. Dewilde initially ignored the dog, but went outside with a flashlight after his dog continued to bark franticly. He walked towards the tracks, and he saw an object some 6 or 7 metres away from him. Behind him, he could hear some steps. When he pointed the flashlight, Dewilde saw two small humanoid figures, "about 80 cm to 1 metre…." When the light was pointed to their heads, it was reflected as if they were wearing a mirror helmet or something.

Suddenly, a light beam got off the object he saw on the tracks and left him totally paralyzed. He slowly looked back and saw a door opening at the object behind him. The beings boarded the object and it took off towards the sky, changing its colors in the meanwhile.
