ALSACAT-2006-00-00-AEROPORTBALEMULHOUSE-1
On the website of the Swiss ufology group GREPI someone had reported that in the summer of 2006, as taxi driver in the Doubs, he (or she) drove along the Basel-Mulhouse airport on the motorway in the direction of Germany.
By watching the ascent of an airplane, he saw perhaps a kilometer away from this plane; which was itself about one kilometer away, a "golden" rectangular shape which, despite the distance, seemed as big as the plane.
He saw it for about three seconds and then it disappeared from view by turning on itself, thereby showing its thin slice.
He cannot tell if it was moving, and said that the weather was sunny.
A ufology group he does not remember the name of had explained to him that "this was already seen, but black colored."

[Ref. gri1:] WITNESS REPORT ON THE G.R.E.P.I. WEBSITE:
In the summer of 2006, taxi in the Doubs, I was going along the Basel-Mulhouse airport by the motorway towards Germany.
It is by observing the rise of a plane that I saw, perhaps a mile beyond this plane (itself about one kilometer), a "golden" rectangular shape, which despite the distance seemed as big as the plane.
I saw it for about three seconds and then it disappeared, I guess turning on itself, thereby showing its thin slice.
I cannot tell if it was moving.
Sunshine seen through a windscreen!
An association which I do not remember the name told me that it had already been seen it but in black color.
Following an initial message, I just found a website that reminds me of something of this association. It talks about "repas ufologiques."

It is obviously impossible for me to exclude a priori that this person saw an alien craft.
However, it is also possible to me to rule out that it could have been a party balloon, one of those small mylar balloons that come in many shapes and colors.

Above: a hashtag-shaped mylar party balloon.
Possible party balloon.
