"FLYING SAUCER" SIGHTED OVER BREGENZ -- Vienna, Neue Wiener Tageszeitung, 21 Aug 54

Bregenz, 20 August -- Three inhabitants of Hard, on the Lake of Constance, observed a "flying saucer" at about 2045 hours on 19 August. A carpenter named Fessler, his son-in-law, and Kloser, a teacher, described it as follows: a small gleaming disk-shaped object, about twice as large as Venus, came from the southwest, flying in the direction of Pfaender. Suddenly it turned and vent in the opposite direction, making some arupt zigzags over Bregenz. After about 2 minutes, it disappeared into a bank of clouds.
