During a patrol on June 15, 2009 at 10:40 PM, two soldiers see the silent passage of a green ball on a downward trajectory. The phenomenon disappears suddenly at the horizon. This observation of a very bright green ball moving in a straight line for 5 to 6 seconds matches the classic testimony of a fireball. This case is classified "B": probable observation of the re-entry of a meteoroid (meteorite) into the atmosphere.
