AnomalyOn January 25, 2008 at around 6:15 PM, many witnesses, mainly in the southwest of France, saw a luminous object pass across the sky. The investigation carried out by GEIPAN did not make it possible to validate the hypothesis of the atmospheric re-entry of space debris, and the hypothesis retained is that of the re-entry of a meteorite. More than 170 witness accounts were collected and made it possible to establish a trajectory and a probable impact point east of Albi. Although several witnesses brought GEIPAN stones found after this observation, no debris from this meteorite was recovered.
