The article below was published in the daily newspaper L'Alsace, France, October 15, 1954.
This is the question that arose last night during the two seconds exactly that the phenomenon that took place under their eyes lasted, an industry executive from Mulhouse returning from Colmar with his wife and child on the road to Battenheim. It was 6:10. The vehicle approached the Ile Napoleon when the occupants saw passing in the sky right in front of them and disappear in the direction of Basel, an elongated body, which emitted a bright green light with a vaporous trail.
A plane? Impossible, said the motorist. So? ...
The phenomenon also seemed to have been seen by the driver of a truck that preceded the industry executive's car. The latter saw him indeed slow down, as if to follow what was happening in the heavens, before accelerating the truck again.
Anyway, the "saucers" chapter and other unidentifiable objects is not ready to be closed this year.
