ufo on 08 16 2014 at about 11:00 which goes towards the hilton strasbourg slow motion and real speed for educated eyes filmed by werner !

Note: a comment indicated that it is a bird.

Discussion:

Map.

The so-called "UFO" is visible from second 8 to second 11, and it is obviously juts a bird.

The camera is perfectly motionless, I can assume that "Werner" did not see anything with his own eyes and discovered the "UFO" on the video later on, in the manner of the so-called "surprise photographs".

The "UFO" does not dly to the Hilton hotel but to the trees in the park.

Evaluation:

Bird.
