ALSACAT-2010-05-00-MULHOUSESTRASBOURG-1
The French-speaking website Aera51, by "Era", published in October 2010 a testimony by a person with the alias "Wezz" of a sighting "last May", which would have been made "in the direction of Germany, exactly above the black forest." The witness said he had taken photos, "unfortunately of very poor quality", and offered to send one.
Furthermore, he reported that "during that same day", he and a colleague had made "the most beautiful sighting of UFOs that we have ever seen, not that we do so often, or that I often do", while claiming to have made "some very interesting observations".
He reported that the company where they worked was located in Hoenheim near Strasbourg, and that when they returned from a construction site in Saint-Louis in the Haut-Rhin, around 5:30 p.m., discussing in the van, "about 15 kilometers later", he had noticed two luminous dots quite close to the ground.
He pointed them out to his colleague, "and he too had never been able to see those bright spots there." He reports that over the kilometers, more dots of lights appeared, thus forming "two bars of perfectly symmetrical dots of light", and the closer they approached Strasbourg, the more it seemed obvious to them "that there was something strange since having made this trip several times never before we had seen these lights."
He reports that arriving near the Elsau prison, the dots were no longer visible, but at that moment, between the trees to their right, a hundred meters after the prison, still on the motorway, a dot of light had started to grow at a dizzying speed, becoming a ball of light, to finally disappear, and give way to a new dot heading towards Strasbourg.
Then, on the outskirts of Strasbourg, still on the highway, arriving at the level of the city which was to their right, they had again seen "these two symmetrical light bars" but this time, really close, "almost palpable", and they then saw "the very structure of these two UFOs lit by their own lights, the two objects in perfect symmetry a few hundred meters above Strasbourg, and from our eyes too."
As they advanced on the highway, "it turned out that they were not bars but saucers, with on their peripheries lights of a rare whiteness and intensity. You could then realize that it must have been some sort of portholes." Still continuing on the highway, they took the exit towards their company, where they finally stopped around 7:00 p.m. still completely amazed by their observation.
His colleague took his car to go home, while the witness took his own car and drove on a road bordering fields with perfect visibility over Strasbourg and the Black Forest, from where he says to have seen at the level of the Black Forest "the same formation as earlier in the evening", but this time above the mountains of the Black Forest. He says he then saw "lights below literally falling from the formation itself", he decided to approach them, but then lost sight of them and returned to his first vantage point, from where he noticed that the formation had moved away, with still luminous dots falling from it.

Hello, last May I made a similar observation in the direction of Germany, exactly above the black forest. I took some photos, alas of very poor quality, there is one that I can send to you if you want.
This sighting followed one of my best UFO sightings.
Indeed, during that same day, a colleague and I made the most beautiful UFO sighting that we have ever seen, not that we often do, or that I do often. But I must say that I have already been able to make some very interesting observations. (The company where we work is located in Hoenheim near Strasbourg)
While we were returning from a construction site in Saint-Louis, around 5:30 p.m. (near Mulhouse), we were talking in the van, it was then that 15 kilometers later, I noticed 2 luminous dots quite close to the ground, I remarked this to my colleague, and he had never been able to see these luminous dots at this place either. Over the kilometers, light dots were added, forming two perfectly symmetrical light dot bars, and the closer we got to Strasbourg the more it became obvious that there was something strange since having done this several times. we had never seen these lights before. Arriving at the Elsau prison, the dot were no longer visible, it is then that between the trees to our right a hundred meters after the prison still on the highway, a luminous point dot started to grow at a dizzying speed, becoming a ball of light, to finally disappear, and give way to a new dot heading towards Strasbourg.
And here is the most interesting part, on the outskirts of Strasbourg still on the motorway, we arrived at the level of the city, in its periphery, by turning the head to the right we can see the whole city the cathedral etc., this is where we saw again these two symmetrical light bars but this time, really close, almost palpable. And there, really, we could see even the structure of his two UFOs lit by their own lights, the two objects in perfect symmetries a few hundred meters above Strasbourg, and our eyes finally. And as we advanced on the highway it turned out that it was not bars but saucers, with lights on their peripheries of a rare whiteness and intensity. We could then realize that it must have been some sort of portholes. Still continuing on the highway we took the exit towards the company, or finally we stopped still completely amazed by our observation around 7:00 p.m.
My colleague then took his car to go home, as for me, not being able to stop there, I took my car and set out on a road along fields with perfect visibility over Strasbourg and the black forest, it was then that at the level of the black forest I noticed the same formation as earlier in the evening. But this time right on top of the Black Forest mountain, and there as described in the article I saw lights below literally falling from the formation itself, I then decided to go approach, but having lost then I returned to my first observation spot, it is there that I noticed that the formation was really far away with always luminous points which "fell".
I took as said, photos, only one is about correct, but none of the UFOs I saw over Strasbourg when I was nearby having nothing on hand to take photo, and I really regret it. Because even now I am completely overwhelmed by this observation I was so close to the event.

There is no problem, I will post the photo on my return home this evening around 7:30 pm.
And for my testimony there is no problem, I hope that I did not make too many mistakes in French or other in it. :)
And I will try to take some time to share with you other observations I have made in my region.
Yours faithfully,
Wezz

good evening everyone.
and voila Wezz you will see it will mark you all your life and you will ask yourself big unanswered questions like me I am also witnesses in 91 or 92 in short. after that it's hard to believe the bible and all the other bullshit...
welcome Wezz you're one of us, and my me a spawn beer.

Good evening everyone,
First of all as promised in the photo:
[No longer visible]
It's not worth much, eh since it's taken with a fairly low-end camera, especially at night :(
So as I said in my previous post I will tell you first of all my first UFO sighting, it was in 2008 in July, I was settling in my garden, it was quite hot besides, I quietly observe the stars, and there something catches my eye, oh a moving star, the same color, the same size, so at the beginning I thought of a satellite but a satellite not emitting no light, unless of course it reflects sunlight, which I have seen elsewhere.
So, I saw a star starting to move, shortly after while following the path of this light with my eyes, another added in the opposite direction, then yet another and another, so I could see 5 moving at the same time, some had strange trajectories, but slow, turns leading to a U-turn, zigzag, but then one of these lights started to accelerate then to make a turn at a right angle, followed by some flash then disappeared, the other light still following their slow trajectory left my field of vision.
But afterwards I noticed that this kind of moving lights having exactly the same shape as a star are visible almost every night by observing the stars well when the sky is clear, so I still don't know what it is but what is certain is that they are not satellites, on the other hand I have not been able to observe since any lights making a turn at right angles or flashing strangely with a bright light as previously stated . It lasted a good hour.
So much for my first observation.
I will now tell you one of my other observations which took place in early September 2009.
While I was with friends at my house, after a nice little evening I was looking out of my living room window, it must have been 5:15 am, and there I exclaimed "wow! Look, look quickly, through the window this ball of light ”we then all rushed outside, I even took my telescope just in case, but the time to get the lights out was gone.
All of a sudden, while we were in my garden at 5.30am, I noticed a very bright low-level light (200m high at most) that came out of nowhere, it was following then a straight path from the back of my garden to the front of my house when suddenly another light sprang from that first ball of light but much brighter, and in an instant going in the same direction but at a speed unimaginably taken a dizzying acceleration worthy of a science fiction film, the entire observation lasted 5 minutes at most and no noise. My friends and I were all completely bewildered, and after that never saw it the same way again I can assure you.
So much for my most interesting observations, but I have never said a word on a website or other forum until then having not really had the time yet.
And I answer Olivier, no worries for the beer :), and anyway personally the bible, etc., I never believed in it, nor in the officiality of the things that we try to imprint us in the brain…
Yours faithfully,
Wezz.

Ok! message received.
great testimony Wezz, incredible things are happening up there and it keeps the authorities from telling us anything or they make believe that they have told us all.
good night everyone.

This blog presents several Alsatian cases caught on the web, including:
2010
May 2010 (Haut-Rhin and Bas-Rhin)
"While we were returning from a construction site in Saint-Louis, around 5:30 pm (near Mulhouse) we were talking in the van, it was then that about fifteen km later, I noticed 2 points luminous fairly close to the ground.

And as we went along the highway, it turned out that it was not bars but saucers, with lights of rare whiteness and intensity on their peripheries. We could then realize that it must have been some sort of portholes. Still continuing on the motorway we took the exit towards the company, where we finally stopped, still completely amazed by our sighting around 7:00 p.m."
Read the rest of the testimony on http://area51blog.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/appel-a-temoins-ovnis-en-alsace-le-5-october-2010/ in the "comments" section ", as well as other observations made in the skies of Alsace.
There is no source reference for this case, cited among other cases. There is simply, at the end of the article, a series of links to several ufology websites and web pages, including a link to the old URL of the home page of my own website.
I am willing to admit that what is being reported here sounds the weirdest, but I still have big problems with all of it.
I first note that we have an observation - or several - over a duration ranging from 5:30 p.m. to more than 7:00 p.m., i.e. a duration of 01:30.
The observation(s) starting 15 kilometers after Saint-Louis, in the Haut-Rhin, to Strasbourg, in the Bas-Rhin, takes us from the A35 motorway at Dietwiller to the south of Mulhouse, and goes as far as Hoenheim north of Strasbourg, and even beyond since the observation continues after the colleague took his car to return home.
The duration of the trip corresponds to that indicated by the witness, "Mappy" indicating 1:20. It is still a distance of 120 kilometers.
|
One can think that the first two luminous dots seen 15 kilometers after Saint-Louis (A35 at Dietwiller) were the headlights of a plane approaching the Basel - Mulhouse - Friborg airport. There have been several cases of such misinterpretations in this area which is exactly in the axis of approach of the planes, which arrive very low, with the classic illusion of immobility.
There would then have been "over the kilometers" (how many?) light dots that were added to this, then forming "two bars of perfectly symmetrical luminous dots." We can think of a release of Chinese lanterns from two close places, by two people or two teams. But the report seems to suggest that the witness saw them in Strasbourg... For me it is unthinkable that these "two bars of luminous dots" were visible for the two colleagues from the Haut-Rhin up to the north of Strasbourg without anybody else reporting this, although we are on a hundred kilometers of the busiest road in Alsace.
It may be necessary to consider that the two "bars of luminous dots" were only seen when arriving towards Elsau in the close suburb of Strasbourg, and then, Chinese lanterns can very well be the explanation. If, however, we are willing to consider that describing them as portholes of two saucers is a simple interpretation.
After Elsau, these "bars" are no longer visible but a luminous dot appears and grows and gives way to a new dot. Were these lanterns now seen isolated? Planes approaching Strasbourg - Entzheim airport this time?
It was not over, since the witness who arrived in Hoenheim goes somewhere from where he has a view of the Black Forest, and he sees there "the same formation as earlier in the evening", this which is most curious: from Eslau to Hoenheim, the journey is, as the shortest, when the traffic is not too intense, from 15 minutes to 18 minutes depending on the route chosen, increased by the unreported time it took to find the new observation site. Lanterns would normally not have lasted this long.
If they were the same, then, this time we have a flight of two rows of lanterns (or two flying saucers) going from the South to the North of Strasbourg that, once again, nobody else seems to have reported.
And this time, with "lights below literally falling from the formation itself". Which is interesting because it actually happens with some lanterns when the fuel runs out...
All of this leaves me with the impression of multiple and various misinterpretations, by someone who himself indicates to have made yet other observations.
But since the data is very insufficient, I can hardly go further:
No precise date, no directions, no elevation, no angular sizes, no angular speeds, sometimes imprecise places, a photo not available, etc.
Probable multiple misinterpretations.
