The article below was published in the daily newspaper Dernières Nouvelles du Haut-Rhin, France, for October 30, 1954.
A reader informs us: Yesterday morning, about 10:40 a.m., several people who were on Place du Saumon [Salmon square], noticed a mysterious celestial body north of Colmar and going at high speed from West to East (Vosges - Black Forest). The object was oval shaped, whitish, shiny and flew up to the clouds (Cirrus). You could not hear engine sounds and the object did not look like a plane, so that the observers concluded that it could be one of those mysterious flying saucers.
