FORBACH. -- Monday afternoon, around 3 p.m., the attention of several residents of rue des Jardins in Forbach was drawn by the sudden appearance in the sky of white trails originating above Merlebach and extending toward the Saar. Observing more closely, they noticed that these trails came from objects shaped like small, non-luminous grayish globes, resembling tennis balls. These globes were at very high altitude and did not resemble any known type of aircraft. The three white trails were suddenly crossed by a fourth object emerging from the clouds, also leaving a white trail. The first three objects then began a turning maneuver that brought them in the same direction as the fourth and then disappeared over the horizon. No sound was perceptible during the entire maneuver of the objects, whose perfectly round shape showed no irregularities or flat supporting surfaces. (AFP)
