Man from Taured

The Man from Taured was, according to various internet sources and earlier print compilations of the anomalous, a traveller visiting Japan in July 1954 who carried a passport identifying him as a citizen of a nation called Taured.

Chronology of Accounts
The original account has been credited to Jacques Bergier, and in particular sourced to his 1974 book Visa Pour Une Autre Terre (Paris: A. Michel); however, there is no account of an incident involving an unusual traveller in Japan to be found in that book, and the term "Taured" does not appear in the text.
