Graffenwald is a district and a forest about 3 km south-southwest of Wittelsheim.
The report gives neither angular sizes nor angular displacement nor elevation. That is enough to prevent me to guess what it could have been: helicopter or helicopters, plane or planes, alien craft...
Unidentified, low strangeness, insufficient information.
* = Source is available to me.
? = Source I am told about but could not get so far. Help needed.
