According to the fairly detailed statement received yesterday from a resident of Modenheim, Mrs. S., the latter as well as her husband, her son and a neighbor saw five "UFOs" Wednesday between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. in the sky of Modenheim. "Five large objects advancing irregularly and silently, as if sliding in the sky, flying quite low (2 or 300 m?", ee were essentially told, "five ovoid shapes appearing in metal, dark blue, one or the other at this and that time stopped. They were surmounted by a light and, once still in the sky, became entirely luminous, white then alternately red, blue, green. This is a statement that may elicit further testimony, the future will tell.
