An orange orb in Charente-Maritime, France
On October 21, 2011 at 9:05 PM, a motorist on the A10 highway is intrigued by the passage of a luminous phenomenon in the sky, then by the presence of glowing circles and a cloud of dust in a field.
After the chance sighting of a fireball (meteorite fall) while driving his car, the witness observes near the road, above a field, white lights and flashing lights as well as a cloud of dust.
The description clearly suggests a combine harvester, probably working on corn. Agricultural machines are required to be equipped with an orange beacon, which may have been left running even though the machine was not on the road.
GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a combine harvester (see examples of combines seen at night in photos).

Write it down while you still remember the details. We will look for the others.
If this reminds you of something a friend or a relative told you once and never mentioned again, send them this page. Reading that a stranger described the same thing is usually the part that helps.
