ALSACAT:

ALSACAT is my comprehensive catalog of UFO sighting reports in Alsace, the region is the North-East of France, whether they are "explained" or "unexplained".

The ALSACAT catalog is made of case files with a case number, summary, quantitative information (date, location, number of witnesses...), classifications, all sources mentioning the case with their references, a discussion of the case in order to evaluate its causes, and a history of the changes made to the file. A general index and thematic sub-catalogs give access to these Alsatian case files.

Case of Soultz-les-Bains, on January 20, 2007:

Case number:

ALSACAT-2007-01-20-SOULTZLESBAINS-1

Summary:

Arnaud, from the Bas-Rhin, reported on the website of the Swiss ufology group GREPI an observation dated Saturday, January 20, 2007, in Soultz-les-Bains, of two white lights of big size, static and silent for 10 seconds until disappearing suddenly.

Going to work in the morning at 7:40, his girlfriend had her eyes attracted by two big very pure and slightly ghostly non flashing and static light, approximately one kilometer in the southeast and approximately 60° above the horizon.

They were, at arm's length, the size of two ping-pong balls spaced by ten centimeters. There was no noise, nothing near them.

The sighting lasted ten seconds and both objects disappeared suddenly. His girlfriend had not stopped looking at it for a second.

The weather was overcast, but it was impossible that it was a plane behind a cloud and, anyway, given the size and the orientation direction of these two lights and the speed at which they disappeared, it was definitely not a plane, Arnaud said.

Arnaud said his girlfriend is 26 years old, she is sane, very skeptical and down-to-earth, but that observation has given her "quite a shiver."

Himself being a ufology buff and creator of the ovni.free-bb.com forum ("The Forum of the Bible and the paranormal"), she did not hesitate to talk about it to him.

[Ref. gri1:] WITNESS REPORT ON THE G.R.E.P.I. WEBSITE:

Going to work Saturday morning at 7:40 am, my girlfriend had her eyes caught by two big very pure and slightly ghostly not flashing and static lights, approximately one kilometer in the southeast and approximately 60 ° above the line of horizon.

They were at arm's length the size of two ping-pong balls spaced by ten centimeters. There was no noise, the vacuum around them.

The sighting lasted ten seconds and both objects disappeared suddenly. My girlfriend has not left them from her eye for a second.

The weather was overcast, but a plane that goes behind a cloud is impossible and, anyway, given the size and the orientation direction of these two lights and the speed at which they disappeared, it was definitely not a plane.

I specify that my girlfriend is 26 years old, she is sane, very skeptical and down-to-earth. But there she really had quite a thrill.

As I am passionate with UFOs and creator of the forum http://ovni.free-bb.com it was not difficult for her to tell me. What a joy for me and at the same time what a disappointment not to have been a direct witness of the observation.

Summary: January 20, 2007 at 7:40 am, in the 67 (Soultz-les-Bains), two white lights of big size, static and silent. observation duration ten seconds then sudden disappearance.

Discussion:

Map.

My favorite application would be that of two projectors, for example SkyTracers, pointed toward the cloud layer.

The closest discotheque is "Le Canotier", 3 rue Mercure in Mutzig, 4 kms away.

Evaluation:

Possibles skytracers.
