An account in Nord, France

On October 9, 2012 at 11:32 PM, two people observe, in the black starry sky, the rapid movement of a white luminous point. Only one testimony is reported. The observation of a white point crossing the sky in a few seconds from East to West suggests a bolide (large shooting star), that is, the entry into the atmosphere of a meteoroid (meteorite). The absence of a trail is not ordinary. This event was not recorded in the BOAM (meteor observers database). The elements provided are not sufficient to validate this bolide hypothesis, which nevertheless remains plausible (Delta Aurigid meteor activity peak on October 10). GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of information. Note that on the same day, 20 minutes earlier, a similar observation was made in Limoges.
