Boom in Occitanie, France
On 10/10/1991 at around 9:30 PM, numerous witnesses spread across all the departments of the Southwest observed for a few seconds a very bright white light moving very quickly with a significant trail in a generally north-south direction. Some witnesses also heard a loud explosion accompanying the phenomenon.
