Aimé Michel reported in his 1958 book on the French flap of 1954, that on September 19, 1954, in Tromborn in the Moselle department, before the observation of Louis Moll there, a witness saw "a weird luminosity behind the hills", hills behind which the village of Oberdorff is located at 2 km in straight line.

OBERDORFF (MOSELLE : FRANCE)
Policeman Louis Moll observed a bright light that appeared in the east crossed the sky, slowed down and came down east of Tromborn. From a distance he saw the object land and its luminosity diminish. It appeared to be the size of a small bus. After 40 seconds the light became reddish and he thought he saw a dark silhouette moving in front of it. Then the object rose up vertically, looking like a red ball that flattened as it moved off to the southeast. Another witness at Tromborn saw luminosity behind the hills, and at Vaudreching, 5km to the west, electrician Rene Paul saw an elongated object with luminous neon light pass over.

Insufficient information.
The interest of this report is of course more as a possible corroboration of Louis Moll's sighting report than intrinsic.
