AnomalyOn March 4, 2010, at around 8:30 PM, a female driver noticed "suspicious" lights in the sky that she could not explain. She would see them again several times afterward, always in the same place. It is likely that these lights were spotlights illuminating the many castles located on the heights of the mountains due east, in the Black Forest on the other side of the Franco-German border. The observation period is a festive period in France but also in Germany, where very colorful celebrations (carnival festivities) take place at that time of year (Kappensitzung). Germans are very fond of these festivities.
