An account in Essonne, France

On October 27, 2007 at 11:00 PM, a motorist observed in the sky the rapid passage toward the northeast of a luminous phenomenon followed by a persistent trail of smoke. The weather is clear with some clouds at altitude. The observation lasts between 1 and 2 seconds. He concludes that it could be a meteorite. No other testimony will be collected. The witness's impression about a meteorite is probably correct.. but the description is too brief to be able to confirm it. The description has nothing very strange about it. Consequently, GEIPAN classifies this case as C: lack of reliable information.
