Boom in Corse du Sud, France

On the night of March 8, 1987, several witnesses heard a loud explosion around 8:40 PM. Another witness saw, just before the explosion, an object resembling a red shooting star. This object was moving across the sky at high speed. It was the atmospheric re-entry of a meteorite.

What stood out: boom
