According rumors, pilot reported field in sight. Guy in AFIS had a/c in sight ,
.
The answer might lie here :

Speculation : entering a lonely stratus. losing sight of PAPI and trying to go under the stratus to regain ground visual contact ? done that myself.. but not at night... and not in a Citation.

At night with that wx, VFR at 150 Kts ? why not divert to EDDF ? If you can afford a Citation X you should be able afford the landing fee and a short taxi ride no ?
