Ille-et-Vilaine, France · 2009-02-15 · from the GEIPAN archive
On Sunday, February 15, 2009, at around 8 p.m., two people in a car see in the sky a luminous phenomenon shaped like an orange ball moving fairly quickly. The observation lasts a few seconds before the phenomenon disappears. This case could have been linked to Hautefort on the same day, at almost the same time (30 minutes earlier), but the witness did not fill out a questionnaire and we have no details to conclude anything. The testimony suggests a probable bolide reentry (meteorite fall) but we do not have the direction of the trajectory followed by the phenomenon. This case is classified "C" due to lack of information.

Through the glass wall of their living room, the witnesses see a very bright luminous ball pass by in 2 seconds. This description alone already suggests the observation of a bolide, that is,…
