Green light in Vienne, France

On January 18, 1993 at around 7 p.m., two witnesses in a car observed the very rapid passage (2 to 3 seconds) of a green light. At the front, the phenomenon was very red with red "jets." No other information was collected, but the hypothesis of an atmospheric reentry is the most likely.

What stood out: green light
