Her name is Catherine Dupond, she lives in Blotzheim, and has the certainties of her 12 years. On vacation at her grandmother's in Metzeral, she saw Monday evening, between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. with her cousin Annick Baumann (an "old" 13 years old) a "light" that was moving in the mountains. "It was big, like the headlight of a car and was blinking."
When she told us about her adventure on the phone yesterday morning, Catherine sensed our skepticism.
"I have a lot of imagination but I was very scared all the same."
And as at this time it could not have been the "Air Alsace" plane which is always circling over the valley of Munster before landing in Colmar, (it only arrived at 10:30 p.m. Monday), maybe it really is a UFO. If other people have observed the phenomenon, they can contact our editorial staff in Colmar at 41 35 07.
