On March 30, 2009 at 5:10 p.m., a family in a car is intrigued by the rapid and silent passage of a luminous phenomenon following a straight-line trajectory in the sky. Ovoid in shape, light green in color and very bright, the phenomenon is followed by a silvery trail. This observation case has the characteristics of a bolide (entry of a meteoroid into the atmosphere). Unfortunately, the absence of other testimonies does not allow this hypothesis to be confirmed. This case is classified as B: bolide observation, probably due to a meteoroid entry (meteorite).
