Green light in Eure, France

On February 20, 2011 at 9:05 PM, a motorist observed the movement of a "fluorescent" green glow that crossed the sky and split into three spheres before disappearing. The described observation resembles a fairly classic meteor: green light, straight-line trajectory, trail, duration of a few seconds. Here we note a fragmentation that is not systematic. The object causing this phenomenon could be a small piece of satellite debris, but more likely of natural origin (meteorite).

What stood out: green light
