An account in Meuse, France

On the night of August 15, 2007, between 11:25 PM and 11:45 PM, a witness spotted a particular phenomenon in the clear sky. An object of dark metallic gray color surrounded by an orange halo and with trails at the rear crossed the sky. During the observation, which lasted 6 seconds, the object moved from East to Northwest. The object suddenly disappeared. No noise was heard. The description and duration are consistent with what can be seen during an atmospheric reentry.
