An orange orb in H�rault, France

A witness observes on 11 February 2009 at 10:00 a fireball on a descending trajectory in the overcast sky. The police, once alerted, will find no fire or material debris in the defined impact zone. No damage to property or persons has been reported in the area concerned, and no other phenomenon of this type was recorded on the same day. The brief testimony describes a "fireball, without color or shine, which descended like a parachute." These characteristics correspond to the probable observation of an atmospheric reentry.
