Short Summary:

Witness statement: It was around 10 p.m. I was riding my moped with my sister towards work. We were outside the city and driving through an alley towards the harbor. Suddenly, an object flew overhead at an altitude of about 300 meters. The sky was clear. At first, we weren't aware of it. Only when it was almost gone did I realize what it was. Then I asked my sister if she had seen what I had seen. She said "yes," and that was really strange. It wasn't an airplane or anything. So, I accelerated towards the harbor, because that's where we were headed. And then, as we were driving towards the harbor, we had a clear view and we saw it flying towards the sea, so northwards. Suddenly, it accelerated very sharply and flew high into the sky. At about a 45° angle. That was it.
