Elongated object with course changes over Mulhouse

Summary

In August 1980, several witnesses in Mulhouse observed an elongated airborne object emitting a central light and making sharp directional changes — first south, then east. Other witnesses reported similar sightings the same night. The following day, August 6, another object was seen heading northeast, though no further testimony was gathered. The possibility of an unidentified aircraft was raised given the heavy air traffic in the area, but no definitive conclusion was reached.
