ALSACAT-2005-08-06-SAVERNE-1
In a list of "latest observations", the "UFOweb" web forum published a testimony saying that in August 6, 2005, at 11:30 p.m., someone observed a bright trace in the sky, "of a very bright blue color. The path was approximately South of Strasbourg to Saverne."
The person "observed this fact for about 2-3 seconds" then the light split in two, one part continuing the path and the other, smaller, leaving the path.
The witness wrote that it is "difficult to explain this extraordinary event" that it was the second of this kind he observed, the other taking place in the spring of the same year.

Hello, On 08/06 at 11:30 p.m., I observed a luminous trace in the sky of very luminous blue color. The trajectory was approximately Strasbourg South to Saverne. I observed this fact for about 2-3 seconds, then the light split in two, one continuing the path, and the other smaller leaving the path Difficult to explain this extraordinary event. This is the second case of this kind that I observe, the other taking place in the spring of this year.

With this duration typical of big shooting stars or small meteors, it can be supposed that was just one of those things, breaking into two during re-entry into the atmosphere.
Probable meteor.
* = Source is available to me.
? = Source I am told about but could not get so far. Help needed.
