A resident of Zillisheim, Mr. Lucien Fluck told us yesterday that he had seen Monday around 10 p.m. in the sky, in the direction of Flaxlanden, a shining disc, too big to be a star.
Three green dots in a triangle, and not blinking, were on the circumference of the disc. The whole was motionless in the sky, and made no noise. Mr. Fluck, who was intrigued by the phenomenon ("I have been around the world in the Navy twice and never witnessed such a thing") while he was walking his dog, immediately went up home to take binoculars. In the meantime, the disc was gone.
