Bischwiller. -- After the night of April 22 to 23, during which several unidentified objects were seen in the sky of Alsace, another luminous phenomenon occurred in our region, in Bischwiller, this time in the night from Saturday to Sunday.
It was 1:30 precisely when Mr. C. S., usher of the city of Bischwiller, and his son in law, saw in the sky a luminous disc which moved from north to south. According to the two witnesses, the apparition lasted ten minutes before disappearing suddenly. Was it a natural phenomenon or an artificial satellite? It is worth recalling in this connection that nearly 300 of these items revolve around our planet.
