26 km almost to the south, we have the Strasbourg - Entzheim airport, 17 km to the east, the Haguenau airfield.
Airliner(s), Ultralights, helicopter(s), Chinese lanterns, vehicle queue on a distant road, or "real" UFO ... It is hard for em to say: there is no angular size, for example, no estimate of the viewing distance. I do not know if "cylindrical object" means that the cylinder shape was really observed or if this was given as "implied" form the row of lights.
Insufficient information.
