White light in Oise, France

The witness observes a large luminous point in the shape of a disk, projecting a very bright white light. The very rapid movement occurs on a NW-SE trajectory, straight and at a constant altitude. This very bright disk crossing the sky in 8 to 10 seconds clearly evokes the atmospheric re-entry of a satellite debris or more probably of a meteoroid (meteorite). This phenomenon, called a bolide, is very spectacular. The BOAM network did not record this specific event, but reports numerous similar events the same night; this is the period of several meteor showers, in particular the Eta Aquariids, which is the most intense of this time of year. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": probable observation of a bolide, caused by the atmospheric re-entry of a natural object.
