ALSACAT:

ALSACAT is my comprehensive catalog of UFO sighting reports in Alsace, the region is the North-East of France, whether they are "explained" or "unexplained".

The ALSACAT catalog is made of case files with a case number, summary, quantitative information (date, location, number of witnesses...), classifications, all sources mentioning the case with their references, a discussion of the case in order to evaluate its causes, and a history of the changes made to the file. A general index and thematic sub-catalogs give access to these Alsatian case files.

Hello,

I observed a UFO phenomenon on 4/124/2014 between 1:05 and 1:10 near Benfeld (67).

By [l]ooking on the Internet to see if other people have observed the same phenomenon I came across your website that seems to list them.

Do you have a form to report my observation?

Have other people already reported this phenomenon?

Thank you in advance, best regards,

[Other partial name].

Discussion:

Map.

Having been particularly overwhelmed when I received the email [pgs1], I was unfortunately unable to follow up. I can just indicate that I did not received any corroborating testimony.

Evaluation:

Totally insufficient information.

Sources references:

* = Source is available to me.
? = Source I am told about but could not get so far. Help needed.
