An account in Bouches-du-Rhône, France

In April 2008, a witness reported that during a vacation in the Camargue in 1993, he observed with another person a particular luminous phenomenon. Arriving very fast like a shooting star, this phenomenon slowed down then stopped, made several zigzags, then disappeared vertically at very high speed. Our requests for additional information went unanswered. This very old observation remains without any precise indication of location or date (the 01/01 was given arbitrarily). No investigation is possible on an observation without great strangeness that suggests the observation of an atmospheric reentry.
