ALSACAT-2005-04-12-SAALES-1
In the ufological bulletin SPICA News #7 of January 2006 of the Alsatian association of ufology and astronomy SPICA, it is noted that on August 22, 2002, there was a sigthing communicated by a witness on April 12, 2006, who additionnally mentioned that one of his friends, in the night, had "seen a very large triangle near Saales". According to the statements of his friend, he saw two red lights, placed at the ends. In addition there was a white light reflection on the clouds, which the witness thinks is the reflection of a luminous source placed above the phenomenon. There had been a big noise accompanying the triangular shape, as for the identical facts which had occurred on August 22, 2002 in the area of Strasbourg.
SPICA says they heard about this witness from Saales on several other occasions, but were never able to obtain his contact information.

The return of the triangle
A witness contacted us through our website to report the observation of a luminous dot crossing the sky from East to West at 9:30 p.m. After two blinks, this luninous dot extinguished. We think of the passage of a satellite, but we could not find which one in the list of those who have flownover the area that evening. Perhaps a military satellite, not listed in public bases.

That same day, April 12, around 11:30 p.m., this witness from Breitenbach heard a noise, which he compared to that of an earthquake, but coming from the sky.
Although this information is very weak in itself, we decided to meet with the witness, because the same night, at a different time, a few kilometers away, another witness, friend of the first, saw a very large triangle near Saales. According to what his friend said, he saw two red lights, placed at the ends. Of the more there was a white luminous reflection on the clouds, the witness thinks that it is the reflection of a light source placed above the phenomenon. AT Saales also a loud noise accompanied the triangular shape. Identical facts occurred on August 22, 2002 in the Strasbourg region, see issue 3 of our review. Our association launched an appeal for witnesses and opened an investigation.
On several other occasions, we have heard of him, unfortunately we do not have the contact details of the witnesses.
More in the next issue.

The information is insufficient, and as described, the observed thing could have been an airplane or a helicopter.
