ALSACAT:

ALSACAT is my comprehensive catalog of UFO sighting reports in Alsace, the region is the North-East of France, whether they are "explained" or "unexplained".

The ALSACAT catalog is made of case files with a case number, summary, quantitative information (date, location, number of witnesses...), classifications, all sources mentioning the case with their references, a discussion of the case in order to evaluate its causes, and a history of the changes made to the file. A general index and thematic sub-catalogs give access to these Alsatian case files.

[Ref. pgs1:] EMAIL TO ME:

Subject: Concordant testimony Nr ALSACAT-2000-01-02-STRASBOURG-1
Sent: April 11, 2017
From: [Female firstname] [Name] ([female firstname.name]@gmail.com)

Hello,

I wanted to contact you about the testimony of a woman who had seen a ufo on January 3, 2000, in Strasbourg (http://ufologie.patrickgross.org/alsacat/2000-01-02-strasbourgf.htm ).

I was a child then (12-year-old), but I saw exactly the same thing: 3 luminous balls that let show a triangle, in the district of the meinau.

I am happy to find a concordant testimony ; nobody believed me at the time when I spoke about it.

Best regards,

[Female firstname] [Name]

Discussion:

There is some uncertainty about the date. The other witness referred to her observation of January 2, 2000 and reported it on January 3, 2000. This witness writes on this subject, "a woman who saw an UFO on January 3, 2000": which is the date of that woman's report.

Evaluation:

Unidentified, insufficient information.
