WATTWILLER. - The "saucer" this is about was observed Tuesday evening during more than half an hour. Mr. F. K. saw in the sky in the direction of Bollwiller, at about 11:15 p.m. a luminous object moving in zigzag in an erratic manner. It seemed to be located at 500 or 600 meters. Mr. Kieffer called the attention on the appearance to Mr. and Mrs. G. R., farmers in Wattwiller. All three first observed the object with a pocket telescope, then took the car and tried to get closer to the saucer. On their road they met a cyclist who also observed the display for quite some time. The more they tried to approach the thing, the more it seemed to go away in the direction of the Rhine, to finally completely disappear at about 11:45 p.m.
