AnomalyA witness reports an observation made on July 31, 2011 at around 7:30 pm of the very rapid passage of a phenomenon in the sky. Oval in shape and white in color, the phenomenon moved without any noise being heard. It disappeared quickly toward the horizon. The speed of the object and its brightness suggest a re-entry into the atmosphere of a meteoroid, or of space debris. The date of the observation corresponds to the period of many meteor showers, and the direction of the trajectory is compatible with a Perseid. The file was transmitted for information to scientists specializing in meteorites (IMCCE and the National Museum of Natural History).
