Biesheim. -- In yesterday's issue we reported that two motorists who were between Niffer and Kembs saw one of these mysterious celestial body which are talked about so much at this time and was moving at breakneck speed. This phenomenon was also observed by one of our readers, Mr F. S. of Wintzenheim who was at the indicated hour in Biesheim and Neuf Brisach and therefore saw this object from the north side. From his description it was a colored ball that was heading south at a height of about 800 to 1000 m and descended suddenly as if it wanted to land somewhere in the country of Baden.
