The article below was published in the daily newspaper Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, édition de Strasbourg, France, le 28 août 1959.
Several readers (domiciled either in Strasbourg or Brumath) reported the appearance of a mysterious craft in the sky Wednesday night between 8:15 p.m. and 08:30 p.m.
In Strasbourg, many people observed for 5 minutes a ball the size of a star and of pretty intense luminosity follow a semicircle.
From the East, the ball went to the South and to the North West. Is it one of those artificial satellites currently orbiting in space?
