Russian rocket observed over Switzerland

London 15. (TT from Reuters) A strange object have been observed flying at a speed around 400 km/h over the Rhone valley in Switzerland, and one assumes it is the Russians carrying out trial runs of flying bombs over the Alps, writes the Daily Mail&#39;s correspondent in Geneve, who reminds us of similar objects observed over Sweden in recent times.

The station inspector in Gryom on the mountain railroad Bex-Gryom-Villars stood and watched a Liberator-plane, flying at a height of 3000 meters above Dent du Midi in the Valais canton, when he noticed &quot;the flying bomb&quot;. He described it as a large star moving towards northeast. Despite clear sunlight and the absence of smoke the object was easy to spot. He showed it to a visitor from London, who also clearly saw the projectile, reports the newspaper correspondent eventually.

&Aring;SELE-WIFE SAW &quot;STARS&quot; IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY

A strange observation was made yesterday in &Aring;sele municipality. A wife in the neighborhood saw ten objects, which she describe as stars, that in the middle of the day ran across a cloud free sky at a high altitude. The objects shone and followed the wind.

Two of them declined and it was then she saw that they were glossy on one side and black on the other. She estimated them to be about 60 cm in length. The two objects that separated from the others appeared to fall down to the ground right outside of the municipality. The others continued moving in the wind direction.

Flying firebombs also in Norway

Oslo 15. (United Press.) &quot;The flying fire bombs&quot; have now also been observed in Norway. On the night to Monday a fireball with yellow white tail was spotted over Moss. It moved at a height of about 1000 m. and could be observed for a minute before disappearing at the horizon.
