ALSACAT-2002-07-26-BITCHESTRASBOURG-1
On July 27, 2002, a colleague ufologist from the Mulhouse area informed me by email that according to another ufologist, from the South of France, people had seen triangular UFOs above the Bas-Rhin, between Bitche and Strasbourg, in the evening of July 26, 2002.
We made calls for witnesses, but nothing was learned.

Subject: Observation over the Bas-Rhin?
Date: 07/27/2002 07:01 p.m.
From: [A fellow ufologist from the Mulhouse region.]
To: (Patrick GROSS)
CC: [A fellow ufologist from another region.]
Dear Patrick,
[A ufologist from the south of France] has just phoned, it seems that observers saw UFOs of triangular shape above the Bas-Rhin, between BITCHE AND STRASBOURG, last night.
Can you call for information on the UFO-Sciences mailing list?
I'll take care of making one to the SPICA association of Odratzheim.
Thank you
[The ufologist colleague from the Mulhouse region.]

26/07/02: Observations of triangular UFOs between Strasbourg and Bitche
Notes: before 04/25/2002, there was no question here of concluding or firmly asserting anything about the nature of the object observed, probably a balloon, but simply of putting together what was reported to me. In particular, I could not say anything about the veracity of the storie or the authenticity of the photographs.
On the evening of July 26, 2002, observers reportedly saw triangular-shaped UFOs above the Bas-Rhin, between Bitche and Strasbourg.
Please communicate your observations or information in relation to the author of this site who will pass it on to the local investigators.

Bitche is in the Moselle department, outside Alsace; Strasbourg is in the Bas-Rhin in Alsace. The distance in a straight line between Bitche and Strasbourg is 56 kilometers, which gives us a very vague localization of the case... At best, we can say that if the observation really took place "between" these two cities, it probably took place in Alsace since between Bitche and the Bas-Rhin there are at most 12 kilometers.
Anyways, there is obviously not enough information to concoct an explanation.
Totally insufficient information.
