AnomalyOn Thursday, March 1, 2012 at 10:25 PM, a motorist noticed a glow in the sky that intrigued him. He observed the passage of an enormous "shooting star" of yellow color with a blue-white border, followed by a blue trail. The size impressed the witness. The appearance of the phenomenon (straight-line trajectory, very fast movement, strong light) clearly characterizes a bolide: atmospheric entry of a meteoroid or space debris. Because the witness indicates a duration on the order of one second, and there is no recorded space debris reentry on that day, the hypothesis of a meteorite fall is favored. The REFORME network of meteor observers does not report (not yet?) this phenomenon. GEIPAN classifies this case "B".
