This press report, dated Monday, July 15, details a sighting of an unidentified object over the Rhone Valley in Switzerland. According to a report from the Daily Mail's Geneva correspondent, a station inspector employed by the Bex-Gryon-Villars mountain railway observed the object while watching a Liberator aircraft flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters over Dent du Midi in the canton of Valais. The inspector described the object as a 'vast star' traveling toward the northeast. Despite the clear sunshine, the object was easily visible and notably lacked any trail of smoke. The inspector pointed out the object to visitors from London, who also confirmed seeing the projectile.
