ALSACAT-2019-04-10-VIEUXFERRETTE-1
Under the pseudonym "strut", someone reported to the UFO site "OVNI France.fr" his sighting without other witnesses titled "Luminous dot which leaves a center", on April 10, 2019 at 10 p.m. in Vieux-Ferrette in the Haut-Rhin:
Having walked my dog as usual around 10 o'clock in the evening and i looked up to the sky while waiting for my dog to do his busines to look a little at the stars or planets and constallation so I couldn't see a lot in fact a few unimportant luminous dots and i had no idea in my head to see something unusual at this moment just to eaze my neurons a little and thats when i see towards the south -east a luminous dot which lights up i thought of a shootting star so I said to myself its gonna extinguish rather quickly and well no it and remained on so I said to myself ok that's a satellite, no doubt the problem is that there was another luminous dot which lit next to a gap of 2 cm depending on my vision and after another and in fact 5 dots which formed a line and after that thes 5 dot just disappeared at the center of the first dot and then the same happend with an angle of 20 degrees from the center which have formed a circle and then this its moved above the forest where I live to the south, always applying this circle or ellipse with lights that goes out from the center to the outside I understood nothing to the show i was quite disoriented by what i had witnessd i even rubbed my eyes believing that it was fatigue that had made me see what i had seen it was quite impressive now I can conclude absolutely nothing i only note what i saw and i think that if it was an object it must have been quite high in altitude and probably very big well if someone has already had this kind of case it would be good to know
On the Web report form, the witness indicated an approximate duration of observation of 2 minutes.

It is difficult for me to give a solid explanation. It could have been a group of Internet access satellites; or maybe, Swiss military flares or planes or helicopters maneuvering in the distance.
Possible planes or satellites.

? = Source I am told about but could not get so far. Help needed.
