[Ref. 1013:] CHRISTIAN VALENTIN:
Journalist Christian Valentin indicates that on October 29, 1954, at 07:50 p.m., two brothers who were circulating by motorbike on the road of Reichstett to Hoerdt distinctly saw a luminous object in the shape of a cigar, which moved with an extreme speed from the east towards the west.
The point of the cigar was white, the body threw alternatively red and green gleams, and it had behind itself a long and straight luminous trail.
Four other people who were driving by caron the same road made an identical description of the phenomenon.
Not looked for yet.
