Four days after a UFO seen in Kembs (Haut-Rhin), a second unidentified craft was observed on Saturday, between 11 p.m. 30 and 0 a.m. 30, by around ten people in the Goesdorf region, 40 kilometers north of Strasbourg (Bas-Rhin).
It would be an orange or dark red luminous sphere, spinning on itself, and moving from southeast to northeast.
According to the Merkwiller - Pechelbronn gendarmerie which received the statements of witnesses, the craft was first seen by the passengers of two cars who alerted several other people. The slow-moving UFO reportedly paused over a mountain, and then disappeared very quickly.
