The news scout is used to seeing blue-colored lights from the Swissporarena at home in Kriens when football matches are taking place. But what he saw shortly before 11 p.m. on Tuesday evening amazed him: “In the direction of Sonnenberg and the city of Lucerne, I suddenly saw several blue lights that looked like UFOs”. As he further explained, he means the name UFOs rather funny because the light spectacle “looked very funny” to him.
According to the news scout, the lights were visible for regarding a quarter of an hour. Then they disappeared once more. A little later the cigar-shaped lights lit up the night sky once more. “It was an on-off situation,” continues the news scout, who was particularly pleased to be able to photograph an unusual subject.
In the truest sense of the word, however, the organizing committee of the Lilu Light Festival Lucerne can bring light into the darkness. Lea Isaak, co-festival director, might not conclusively confirm on request that the light came from them. But she says: “It may be that the news scout might see the light from the Hotel Château Gütsch. We did tests there for the festival on Tuesday evening. ”
The third edition of Lilu light festival in Lucerne starts on Thursday. Until January 16, Lucerne will once once more be a bright meeting place. During this time, squares, sights and alleys in the city of Lucerne are artfully illuminated daily from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
