AnomalyOn March 24, 2012 at around 8:20 PM, a witness observed in the sky the silent and very rapid movement of a group of four white lights. The witness, an amateur astronomer, stated that the lights turned on at the height of Capella and turned off when they reached the constellation of Ursa Major. No other testimony was collected on this phenomenon. It is highly probable that this is the same phenomenon observed at Valras and Brantôme: a re-entry into the atmosphere of a meteoroid, with fragmentation, or of an unlisted space debris (see the investigation report and the verification done on SpaceTrack). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": observation of an atmospheric re-entry of a meteoroid or space debris.
