Vanishing suddenly in Orne, France

On March 29, 2008, at around 9:30 PM, several witnesses observed a luminous phenomenon in the sky for 3 seconds. A very bright yellow ball moved at high speed from the southwest to the northeast. The witnesses noted a non-rectilinear trajectory and an absence of noise. The luminous phenomenon disappeared suddenly. Based on the description of the phenomenon, these people witnessed a probable atmospheric reentry.
