October 24: a flying saucer makes in 10 minutes duration an extraordinary demonstration in the sky of Wittelsheim. 3 young 12 year old boys living in Guebwiller saw towards 06:30 P.M. in the twilight sky an object which they described as being of oblong shape and an intense brilliance. They could particularly follow during several seconds the silent evolutions of what seems to be a "flying cigar," above the vineyard of Guebwiller.
