AnomalyIn 2005 (the witness does not remember the exact date) around 10 p.m., a student is getting ready to close the Velux window in his room when he is surprised to see a luminous object pass by at high speed in the clear sky. Its trajectory is N-W to S-E. Spherical in shape and slightly yellowish, this object seems to be at an altitude of 3000 m, no noise is heard. It seems to be caught in a halo. The observation will last less than 3 seconds. The description of the object may suggest a probable atmospheric reentry, but we lack information on the observed phenomenon.
