The article below was published in the daily newspaper L'Alsace, France, on October 12, 1954.
And it goes on... Here is a new witness to the daily topic of UFOs.
It is reported from Heimersdorf in the Sundgau that two girls, Misses Anny and Roselyne Pracht, aged 18 and 22 years (respectively), saw on Sunday night around 07:30 p.m., while they were returning home by bicycle, a gleam in the grazing, at the exit of Heimersdorf to Feldbach. They first thought it was a fire ignited by a shepherd, but driven by curiosity, they went off across the fields.
They came quickly back, totally terrified by what they saw: the mentioned light came from an object, 2 m high, looking like a barrel. As they approached, the craft changed suddenly to a glowing red, rose silently into the sky to disappear quickly. Let's add that the phenomenon was also observed by two gypsies who live near the place.
