Other comments: I would like to know if others saw it?

Before your observation, what did you think about UFOs? I thought it was possible that they exist.

What do you think now about UFOs? I am not certain of what I have seen but it is interesting

Discussion:

Map.

I assigned the case to the town of Wissembourg, but it is pure convenience; we only know that the witness said the UFO appeared to be north of his position and above Wissembourg.

I see no strangeness in this report.

Evaluation:

Possible plane or blimp.
