On September 24, 2011 at 3:35 a.m., a Parisian taxi driver spots from his vehicle the silent, horizontal movement of a fluorescent green cone closed off by a red line. The object crosses his field of vision and disappears quickly. No other testimony will be collected on this phenomenon.
Of good consistency and of weak to even average strangeness, this observation case has the characteristics of a bolide (meteoroid (meteorite) atmospheric entry): green luminous phenomenon with a trail, moving linearly over a few seconds.
