An account in Oise, France

On December 3, 2009, at around 10:30 p.m., a motorist observed the very rapid passage of a very low luminous phenomenon in the sky. The witness described two halos of very intense light. No other testimony about this phenomenon was reported. The observation is entirely consistent with a meteor phenomenon or the atmospheric re-entry of space debris: high luminosity, high speed, straight-line trajectory. The possible double trail probably corresponds to the fragmentation of the object upon entering the atmosphere, which is a common phenomenon.
