On October 9, 2012 between 11:00 PM and 11:30 PM, a witness in his garden observes in the sky with few clouds the rapid movement of a white glow with a small bluish halo. Five minutes later, the witness recognizes the passage of a shooting star. The observation of a white point crossing the sky in a few seconds 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). The GEIPAN classifies this case "C" due to lack of information. We note the same day 20 minutes later a similar observation at Lieu-Saint-Amand (59).
