Mulhouse. -- Yesterday evening around 6:10 p.m., while the representative c. a. was traveling with a friend, with his car on the road between Niffer and Kembs, he noticed suddenly in the sky, a bright object in the shape of an egg and describing an S in the cloudless sky. It moved at a fantastic speed at about 300 m altitude. The object changed color from orange to bright yellow - white. In addition, it left behind it a large luminous trail. The ball would have gone towards the south.
