UFOS where I live?

I have wondered if there are ufo observation in my own surroundings, the South of Alsace, in France. What are the cases? How many are there? Were they investigated, mentioned in the local or national medias? What is the proportion of hoaxes, misinterpretations? Time to start to investigate...

Observation with no information:

The regional newspaper "L'Alsace" mentions a regional TV debate whith a ufo witness as a guest.

The article also mentions that there have been about 400 observations of ufos in Alsace in the past 50 years.

The article in the newspaper "L'Alsace":

Update:

I created this page on September 20, 2002.

Then starting in 2014, I started to document all sightings in my region; here is the ALSACAT catalogue.
As o September 20, 2016, I counted at least 764 UFO sighting reports in my region. This figure is about "UFO sighting reports", not "extraterrestrial visits", as I catalogue all reports, including those with a trivial explanation, and as I found ordinary explanations to many reports previously left "unexplained".
