An account in Loiret, France

A witness reports that in March 2007 (between November 22 and 28, he does not remember exactly), he made a particular observation. Driving on a departmental road between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., he and his female passenger suddenly saw in the middle of the sky a luminous phenomenon that seemed to "dive toward the ground." The observation, which lasted 1 to 2 seconds, allowed them to make out a yellow light shaped like a drop that moved without making noise. The object disappeared quickly at the horizon. Based on the description given of the phenomenon (trajectory, duration), these people witnessed the atmospheric reentry of a bolide. The "water drop" shape is certainly due to the presence of a "wake" trail that follows the object.
