AnomalyOn Saturday, July 4, 2009 at around 11:40 PM, from his home, a witness observes for 2 to 3 seconds the silent passage of a luminous disk in the sky. The movement is straight and at very high speed along a Bordeaux-Perpignan trajectory. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon. This case of observing a very luminous disk crossing the sky in a few seconds suggests an atmospheric reentry of a meteorite. Nevertheless, the witness does not note a green or yellow trail as expected in such cases. One can think that the witness's night visual acuity is not very good given his age. The GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of an atmospheric reentry of a meteoroid (meteorite).
