Case description

While traveling toward Strasbourg on the A4 motorway, a witness watched a light comparable to Venus for a few minutes. It seemed to accompany his vehicle, maintaining a constant apparent speed and altitude from Vendenheim to Strasbourg, where buildings hid it from view. The observation had low strangeness and very probably involved an airliner's approach lights seen head-on. The case was classified B as a probable aircraft sighting.
