A flying cigar
above Colmar
"I felt a light hit on the left shoulder
and I could not move away from the place", a young girl of 12 years old
explained to us.
The enigma surrounding the mysterious saucers and the cigars continuous.
Last Sunday, at approximately 06:45 p.m., several people observed a cigar
flying in the sky of Colmar. At that time, a group of five children of
ages rangeing from 10 to 12 were on the place of the Koïfhus, beside the
Schwendi monument.
All of a sudden, one of the children shouted and looked at in the direction of the
east, above the houses of the street of the Tanners [rue des Tanneurs]. There, one
could see an apparition about which much has been written already. A shining object,
of elongated shape, yellow-red color at the front and white-yellow at the back,
moved slowly and descended more and more towards the Koïfhus. The children,
seized with panic, fled while shouting, except one, the little Christiane R...,
aged 12 years, whose parents live the Main street [Grand-Rue]. As glued on the
spot and hypnotized, she stared at the luminous disc which went down more and more.
A luminous disc
Suddenly the young girl felt a light schock in her left shoulder. At the same time,
a luminous ball was visible close to the disc. The young girl could not move any more
and it is only when the disc went up above the Decker house, that she
had control of her members again.
Mrs. A. and Mrs. H., both resident of the place of the Koïfhus, having heard the
cries of the children also saw the luminous disc, which moved at this time
in the direction of the west. They dealt with little Christiane, who besides
was not at all a nervous child and they took her along to her parents. Deeply
impressed and trembling of all her body, she could not eat and it is only in the
morning of the next day, when she was calmed a little, that she could tell to
her father the event as it had happened the day before.
We had the opportunity to talk with the other children and their accounts
agreed with that of little Christiane. We also spoke with Mrs. A. from
the place of the Koïfhus.
Alerted by the shouting of the children, she saw, as well as Mrs. H. who
was in her housing, the luminous disc of yellowish color and chaging to red
afterwards, to rise above the Decker house and to move away in the direction
of the west. According to her, the disc had rather the shape of a barrel
and was moving without noise, while other witnesses are said to have heard
a whistling sound, as the air escaping slowly from a tire.
