An orange orb in Haute-Garonne, France

Around 7 a.m. on December 12, 2012, a witness is intrigued by a dull sound, then observes a luminous phenomenon followed by the rapid passage of a ball colored blue or yellow. No trail is seen. The account of the observation clearly evokes the appearance of a large fireball: a powerful luminous phenomenon lasting a few seconds, accompanied by a sound. The date of the event is very close to the peak of the Geminid meteor shower. The BOAM (http://www.boam.fr) reports the recording of numerous events of this type at that time (the cameras are installed in the north of France, and probably did not capture this fireball, located south of Toulouse). GEIPAN classifies this case "B": observation of a fireball, probably originating from the Geminid shower.
