[Ref. cv1:] CHRISTIAN VALENTIN:
Christian Valentin indicates that on Sunday, October 31, 1954, around 4 a.m., the team of railwaymen of a goods train travelling towards the station of Mulhouse-North at the height of Richwiller, noticed the presence of a "flying saucer" which followed the convoy, without noise and at the same pace.
Arrived at the goods station, other employees of the SNCF noted the presence of the flying object which was practically immobilized during ten minutes, taking all the colors of the rainbow, before rising suddenly and disappearing in the direction to the Grand Ballon, a summit of the Vosges.
That was seen by a hundred people, mainly employees of the goods station, but also Mulhousian night birds, because of the excellent visibility in the sky during that night.
Not looked for yet.
