AnomalyOn May 10, 2009 at 2:58 a.m., two people in a vehicle observe the rapid passage of a white sphere surrounded by a slight halo. The phenomenon moves along a straight trajectory from southwest to northeast before disappearing completely. The observation lasted a few seconds. Of low strangeness and very good consistency, this observation case has all the characteristics of a meteoroid reentry. However, the absence of other testimonies prevents a firm conclusion. This case is classified as B: probable observation of a bolide (atmospheric reentry of a meteoroid).
