An account in Bas-Rhin, France

On November 19, 2017 at 8:35 PM, two people, traveling in a car (T1 driver) and (T2 front passenger), are intrigued by colored luminous shapes seen through the windshield. The witnesses are on departmental road 39 at the exit of Fouchy (67) heading toward Urbeis (67). The witnesses disagree on the description of the phenomenon. However, they agree that the phenomenon was silent and stationary. They take photographs with their respective smartphones. The two witnesses describe the UAP very differently, in particular T2 expresses his difference in perception compared to T1 (See the investigation notes). Looking at the photos provided by the witnesses, we also notice that the UAP observed by passenger T2 is sharp and the one seen by driver T1 is blurry: this opens the hypothesis of two separate observations of two UAPs. Two different observation cases are opened (see the investigation notes). Passenger T2 describes the UAP as 4 luminous points in the shape of a cross, one of which blinks in the middle. This matches well with the observation of an aircraft, which he compares to a drone fitted with white LEDs at its ends. Indeed, from a distance and through car windows, it is possible not to distinguish the colors of the navigation lights. In the photo, we clearly find the double headlight of the Boeing 717, which is then in the approach phase to land at Strasbourg; the converging route can give a sensation of stillness or slow movement. The two testimonies are each consistent with their own observation, and we have photos (fully usable) for both UAPs as well as an aircraft track for the UAP seen by T2. Consequently, GEIPAN concludes that T2's observation corresponds to the observation of a commercial airliner. GEIPAN classifies the case A: commercial airliner. See the case [CD39] of FOUCHY (67) toward URBEIS (67) 19.11.2017 T1 to know what phenomenon was seen by T1 (driver) and what classification was given to the case.
