Cussac (in French pronounced as /kysak/; Occitan (post 1500);: Cuçac) is a commune in the Cantal department in the Auvergne region in south-central France.
On August 29, 1967, two young siblings (François, 13 years old and Anne-Marie, 9 years old) claimed to have been the witnesses of a close encounter with a UFO and its occupants; the incident is now known as the close encounter of Cussac.
