Summary

During a trip on the A4 highway heading to Strasbourg, a witness observed a light similar to Venus that seemed to accompany the vehicle. The light maintained a constant altitude and apparent speed from Vendenheim to Strasbourg, where the witness lost sight of it behind buildings. Although the case was not particularly strange, investigators considered it could be a misidentification of an airliner's landing lights viewed head-on.

The case was classified as B, indicating a likely observation of a conventional airborne object. Despite the apparent simplicity of the phenomenon, this type of report helps researchers rule out common explanations and better understand witness perceptions in similar situations.
