The Alsatian ufology association SPICA published a report they received for a sighting in Strasbourg Hautepierre on Friday, February 8, 2008, at 01:55 p.p., made in the general direction of Oberhausbergen.
The witness said he saw a white craft trace a sign in the sky towards the North-North-West, and he attached a sketch of that "sign".
Once the sign was traced, he did not see the craft for a few seconds, then on the left, he saw a craft that he thinks was the same, in the direction of the Northwest.
The total duration of the observation was about 2 minutes.

I have a hard time figuring out what is strange in this event. Often, planes, such as jet fighter planes, leave contrails in the sky, sometimes forming what seems to be a "sign".
Probable plane producing a contrail.

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