Summary	Observation of a luminous rectangle.
Detailed description	On January 9, 1994 around 19:30, a young woman and her friend in their car observe a luminous rectangular form in the sky. Having stopped their vehicle, they observe this form which is lighted with white and red lights. Having lost sight of it, they go back in the car to find a better point of observation. They stop again and the young woman sees an egg shaped form with the same red and white lights, which seems to come in their direction. She is taken by fear and requests her companion, who did not see this last observation, to leave again as fast as possible.

Summary	Observation of a stationary yellow ball lasting a few minutes.
Detailed description	On August 11, 1993 around 3:30, a witness driving his car observes a large stationary luminous ball in the sky. This ball is sparkling yellow, rotating on itself in silence and bigger than a star. The form was described as a disc with a dome or the shape of an upside-down “mushroom”. Returning home, the witness asks his mother to observe the phenomenon. She will describes it the same way her son did. The observation lasted a few minutes before it disappeared. It does not seem that this observation could be mistaken with a shooting stars. This same evening was advertised for "shooting star night". The phenomenon observed remains unexplained.

Summary	Observation of a noiseless round/oval shaped object with 3 powerful white projectors.
Detailed description	On February 27, 1990 a young couple travelling in a car observes an object shaped like a rugby ball with three powerful white projectors. The size of this object is approximately 2.5 to 3 meters in diameter and flies gently at very low altitude without any noise. After having followed this object during ten minutes, it disappeared at very high speed. The investigation didn't make it possible to identify this object with a known aircraft nor with no other phenomenon.

Observed	03/12/1979
Area	Lorraine
Department	Moselle
Class	D
Summary	Observation of a triangular object changing speed and direction
Detailed description	On December 3, 1979, around 16:50, two witnesses observe a triangular shaped object emitting two traces of red smoke. The object flew over a radio tower, then stopped a few seconds before setting out again. The witnesses followed it until it went out of sight, red smoke being visible until the end of the observation. A third witness observed at the same time a very shiny point in the sky without being able to make a correlation between the two observations. The investigation did not make it possible to identify air traffic corresponding to the observations and this observation remains unexplained.
