Strasbourg. -- Wednesday evening, shortly before sunset, many city residents observed, as they crossed the St. Thomas bridge, two luminous white discs the size of an orange, and between the two, a cigar of which only the center was luminous.
The objects moved rapidly across the sky from south to north to suddenly disappear on the horizon.
Note that throughout the afternoon, the presence of fighters over the city, the witnesses denied that they could have mistaken them with the saucers and the cigar.
