Latest reported cases

Here are the latest cases of unexplained phenomena reported to Alsatian ufologists such as Patrick Gross, Christian Comtesse or Christian Morgenthaler.

[... other cases...]

In April, June and October 2005, the same phenomenon (always a large luminous triangle) was spotted respectively above Schirmeck, south of Strasbourg and in the surroundings of Mulhouse.

Note: "same phenomenon" refers not to a "luminous triangle" but to a triangular dark mass with lights at the corners and the center.

Discussion:

Totally insufficient information.

I can only say that I am not the one of the three ufologists cited who would have been seized of this case.

Evaluation:

Totally insufficient information.
