We reported, these last days, a strange phenomenon which had occurred on Wednesday April 20 in the sky of Colmar, in the evening around 10 p.m. Several people have spoken of a strong light that would only last for a moment.
Other testimonies reached us after our article. Thus this light was seen by two young women employed at the Pasteur hospital. "It was bluish, and very bright," they said. A resident of Orschwihr, Mme Marguerite Simon, who was driving towards Colmar, coming from Rouffach, that day, around 10 p.m. - 10:15 p.m., told us: "I was accompanied by my daughter and I was driving towards Colmar when, suddenly, I found myself in a bright blue light which went far beyond my car and which seemed to fall from the sky. The phenomenon lasted a few moments then the light moved rapidly towards Colmar."
