On July 30, 2010 at around 9 p.m. on the beach at Golfe-Juan, several people observe the rapid and silent passage in the sky of a luminous phenomenon of an opaque white color. Only one testimony will be collected. The characteristics of the object given in the testimony (a strongly luminous ball moving at very high speed for one and a half seconds then disappearing) correspond exactly to the appearance of a meteor and in this case of a "large" shooting star. This case is classified B: probable observation of a meteor.
