ALSACAT-2008-06-12-STRASBOURG-1
On June 12, 2008, I received an email report from someone writing from Strasbourg on that day at 09:47 p.m., titled "ufos Strasbourg."
The sender reported to me that during the Euro soccer game "Austria Poland", sitting on the couch, his gaze was attracted by a light moving "at an amazing speed", it was a triangular and very brightly lit object, that "disappeared behind trees."
There had been no sound, the lights were very bright and white.

This soccer game Austria - Poland took place on June 12, 2008 and the TV transmission started at 08:45 p.m. As the witness sent the email that night at 09:47 p.m., we have a timeframe for the sighting.
The place is not very clearly stated, but is certainly Strasbourg. This is indicated in the title, and signature. Watching the game, probably from home said to be in Strasbourg and writing his email within minutes to an hour after the observation, we can reasonably estimate that the observation occurred in Strasbourg.
For the rest, the information is insufficient: no distance, no duration, no angular size, no direction etc. This could have been a meteor, if we forget the triangular shape; or a helicopter or plane if we suppose that the silence was due to the distance.
Possible meteor or plane or helicopter.
