[Ref. 711] JEAN SIDER:
French ufologist and author Jean Sider learned in an article from the newspaper Les Dernières Nouvelles d'Alsace, Strasbourg, for October 17-18 1954, page 2, that on October 14, 1954, at 07:00 p.m. in Andlau in the department of Bash-Rhin, the brothers Henri and Rene Kreyder, who were driving by car, saw a mysterious machine which stationed not far from the road at the place called Heidi.
The witnesses were returning home when they saw the machine in the headlights of their vehicle, at approximately 100 meters. It was in the shape of a vertical cigar. Finally it took off and disappeared.
[Ref. 933] CHRISTIAN VALENTIN, "LES SAISONS D'ALSACE":
Christian Valentin indicates among the many observations in Alsace in 1954, that on October 14, 1954, at about 07:00 P.M.- 07:10 P.M. in Andlau, the K. brothers were driving by car at the location named Heidi when they saw in the light of their headlights a shining craft in the shape of a cigar, which was posed vertically at the edge of the road.
They tried to approach it, but the object suddenly rose without noise and disappeared at high speed.
