Luminous objects move in the Alsatian sky "in combat formation". Numerous witnesses.
Discussion:
I found no other trace of this case.
It is possible that this is actually a date error, the case then being the one of the previous day. The latter apparently did not have "numerous witnesses" but was also given as having occurred at 00:30 a.m.
Otherwise, if this is an observation of its own at the given date, it is so poorly documented for the moment that there is not much more to say than: "probably Chinese lanterns again."
Evaluation:
Possible date error, possible Chinese lanterns.
