Several people claim to have seen, Thursday evening, a mysterious craft in the shape of a red and luminous ball, in the region of Merxheim (Haut-Rhin).
A detailed description of the object was also given by a 10-year-old schoolboy, Denis Dubich, who says he saw the "U.F.O." land in a field not far from his house, in Merxheim.
The child, whose story is reported by the local press, claims to have been awakened by the furious barking of his dog and then saw the red ball land. The craft, according to him, had portholes, was equipped with an antenna and four hatches through which came out folding feet.
