An orange orb in Val-d'Oise, France

On January 19, 2009 at 6:46 p.m., a witness is intrigued by a light yellow brightness moving across the sky that splits into several distinct yellow/red glows. The phenomenon goes out quickly. The observation lasted between 10 and 15 seconds. The characteristics reported by the witness leave little doubt as to the nature of the phenomenon, consistent with the witness's second intuition, namely the observation of a fireball, due to a probable meteoroid fall, or space debris. This case is classified as B, as the probable observation of a fireball (meteoroid fall, or space debris).
