INVESTIGATION REPORT
WIWERSHEIM (67) 12.06.2011
CASE OF OBSERVATION

1 – CONTEXT

On August 21, 2011, the GEIPAN received a hearing report from a couple of witnesses via the memorandum of collaboration linking it to the National Gendarmerie.

The observation took place during the night of Saturday June 11 to Sunday June 12, 2011, and is about a red-yellow light having crossed the sky from the North-West to the South-East. The testimony of the two witnesses to the Gendarmerie took place the day after the sighting.

2- CASE DESCRIPTION

Excerpts from the report of hearing witness No. 1: "On June 12, 2011, at 1:26 a.m., I was on my terrace rue du Kochersberg in WIWERSHEIM 67370, I saw a strong glow in the sky which was moving high speed, so I immediately called my wife to come and see this. It looked like a ball of fire, like an airplane jet engine, but given the speed at which the UFO was moving, it was not possible, it lasted about 3 minutes" "I walked around the house by foot with my compass which indicated to me that the UFO came from 330° compared to the North to disappear at 150° always compared to the North."

Excerpts from the hearing report of witness No. 2: "On June 12, 2011 at 1:26 a.m., my husband, who was on the terrace at rue du Kochersberg, called me to tell me of the presence in the sky of a bright glow that moved across the sky at great speed. The trajectory seemed straight, the displacement was about 3 minutes. Then the object disappeared."

NB: to the question "How high was the phenomenon?" the witnesses could not answer. It is quite possible that they confused height/elevation with altitude, a confusion apparently not noted by the Gendarmes in charge of the hearing.

WITNESS #2

No significant discrepancy between the testimony of the witness and that of his wife, at most a few details:

- B17: Wedding in the village hall 200 meters away (cf. PV p.7)

- C2: very bright yellow red color

- C3: Elongated fireball (REP p.8), slightly elongated round shape of about 30 cm (REP p.9)

On the question of their occupations before the sighting, the witness stated that he smoked a cigarette on the terrace while taking the dog out. It is not clear whether his wife was with him or inside and then joined him (PV p. 6 "my husband who was on the terrace [...] called me to make me note the presence in the sky with a brilliant glow" followed further by "On the terrace of my house and I stayed there until the disappearance of the object." then "I was wiping my dog's paws.") but that does not appears to have a vital bearing on the quality of both testimonies.

3.1 GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION

The witness observes the phenomenon from the terrace of his residence in Wiwersheim (Bas-Rhin), 18 km north-west of Strasbourg:

[Map.]

Source: Google Maps

The position of the witness is represented by the red circle and the trajectory of the UAP is illustrated by the orange arrow (length and direction for illustration purposes only

3.2 WEATHER STATUS

The closest station with accessible data for the date in question is that of Strasbourg-Entzheim airport, located 10 km south of the place of observation.

Source: infoclimat.fr

The wind blows from North to North - North West during the end of the day of the 11th, before becoming variable during the night, then returning to North to North North - West in the early morning. The cloud cover recorded is total (8/8 oktas, sky completely overcast), which is confirmed by the archive of weather satellite images.

3.3 ASTRONOMICAL SITUATION

The witness does not mention any astronomical landmarks because of a totally overcast sky. The witnesses mention a perfectly dark and starless sky, despite a growing gibbous moon (3/4) present in the South West (az. 232 and 10° of elevation), which suggests a very thick cloud cover (at least in this direction).

The BOAM database does not report any meteor recording corresponding to the time of the observation.

3.4 AERO AND ASTRONAUTICAL SITUATION

The witness seeing the UAP first thought of an airplane, but changed his mind immediately. He does not mention any civilian or military aircraft, nor does his wife.

Strasbourg Entzheim airport is closed to air traffic between 12:30 a.m. and 5 a.m. (source SIA AD2 LFST TXT 01).

As for artificial satellites, the Calsky database does not reference any object of magnitude and trajectory compatible with the observation. This hypothesis is in any case made improbable by the weather conditions previously described.

3.5 RECONSTRUCTION

The orientation and trajectory data are correctly described, but the absence of any elevation data does not allow an objective or even subjective reconstruction beyond the general view proposed in 3.1.

4- ASSUMPTIONS CONSIDERED

The weather conditions immediately invalidate the hypotheses of a spatial or astronomical nature. The hypothesis of a meteor being excluded by the observation period of 2 to 3 minutes, remains the hypothesis of an atmospheric re-entry of a satellite or space debris, but in this case we should have received a large number of testimonies as well as recordings by BOAM network cameras.

The Chinesei lantern, on the other hand, is an excellent candidate: moving near the ground, of large apparent size (30 cm), of bright red yellow color, the displacement and the observation duration correspond very well. The late hour in the night from Saturday to Sunday, associated with a wedding in the immediate vicinity of the place of observation further reinforce this hypothesis (the village hall mentioned by witness n° 2 is in the direction of appearance of the UAP), even if it is more common to observe them in groups of one to several dozen, it is quite possible that a wedding guest late released a remaining specimen, and / or that the witnesses saw the very last lantern of a larger train that they would have missed by a few minutes.

On the other hand, the witnesses describe the UAP as completely uniform, whereas the object seems to have passed vertically (if we stick to the directions of appearance and disappearance of the UAP given by witness nr 1 with a compass), which should have revealed the burner of the lantern and therefore produced a variation in the description of the UAP. However, the absence of UAP elevation data does not allow us to decide on this aspect.

Finally, the wind recorded at Strasbourg-Entzheim airport is variable from June 11 at 11 p.m. to June 12 at 6:30 a.m., but remains framed by a dominant wind from the North to North – North-West, which is compatible with the observation even if the exact wind at the place and time of observation remains unknown.

No other hypothesis among the usual sources of misinterpretation seems to meet the characteristics of this observation.

4.1. SUMMARY OF ASSUMPTIONS

HYPOTHESIS	ARGUMENT(S) FOR	ARGUMENT(S) AGAINST	SIGNIFICANCE*
Satellite	Duration, trajectory.	Weather, no compatible reference object.	Very low to nil
Rocket		Weather, duration, no BOAM records or independent witnesses	Nil
Space debris reentry	Duration, trajectory, color.	No drag, no BOAM recordings or independent witnesses	Nil
Thai Lantern	Shape, color, apparent diameter, trajectory, weather (overcast sky), night from Saturday to Sunday, nearby wedding in a place located in the direction of appearance of the UAP.	Weather (variable wind), uniform aspect despite a vertical passage of the witnesses (point not verifiable).	Strong

*Reliability of the hypothesis estimated by the interviewer: certain (100%); strong (>80%); medium (40% to 60%); low (20% to 40%); very low (<20%); zero (0%)

5 - CONCLUSION

Of low strangeness but of good consistency despite the absence of elevation data (probably due to confusion on the question "height in the sky"), this case of observation has all the characteristics of a mistake due to a Chinese lantern.

5.1. RATING

The GEIPAN classifies this case in B as a probable mistake with the observation of an isolated Chinese lantern.

CONSISTENCE(1) 0.75

Narrative of the facts

On June 12, 2011, at 1:26 a.m., I was on my terrace at rue du Kochersberg in WIWERSHEIM 67370, I saw a strong glow in the sky which was moving at high speed, so I immediately called my wife for her to come and see this. It looked like a ball of fire, like an airplane jet engine, but given the speed at which the UFO was moving, it was not possible, it lasted about 3 minutes.

Answer: Yes I am on medical treatment, I take [-], which is to make the blood fluent.
