An account in Haut-Rhin, France

On November 4, 1981, roofing workers observed around 10 a.m. at high altitude a round flying object, advancing slowly. Visible for about ten minutes, the witnesses could see several colors or lights that seemed to blink or appear while the craft rotated on itself. The sky was clear and allowed good visibility. The craft disappeared into the landscape. No other information was collected on this phenomenon, which cannot be explained due to lack of data.
