COLMAR. - It is a disturbing phenomenon which was witnessed yesterday morning by resident of Munster.
The latter, Mr. Jean Keigler, works in Germany. Like every morning, he left his home yesterday around 5:45 a.m. at the wheel of his Renault 4: "It was near Muhlele, on the CD 417, between Munster and Colmar, that "it" started. On the right from the road, just up to my car, I saw a sort of bright yellow elliptical disc that seemed to be moving at my speed. It seemed to be about 500 meters from the road. At this hour, it was still night..." "It wasn't a plane or a helicopter either," says Mr. Keigler.
"Arrived at my place of work, in Weisweil, I called on a work colleague to show him the phenomenon. He had never seen this either..."
Mr. Keigler has shared his discovery with the gendarmes. They will open an investigation.
