The article below was published in the daily newspaper Le Nouveau Rhin Français, Sélestat, France, on January 12, 1954.
Firefighters of Colmar fighting a fire last night, made at 3:30 a weird observation: from the South to the North over the Vosges mountains moved a round, flat object with a kind of tail. The phenomenon was phosphorescent, shiny, and bright red. It was also seen by many people who had not attended the fire.
Students in Bergheim made a similar observation about 8 am Saturday morning. This time the heavenly machine moved south.
Were they flying saucers? This time in any case it is not a joke, the observation coming from many credible people.
