Pilot witness in Ardèche, France
The witness is at the highest point of the Col de l'Escrinet in Ardèche when she spots in the sky a luminous phenomenon the color of fire with a wide yellow trail crossing the sky from West to East on a horizontal trajectory. This case is to be compared with the simultaneous observation case Aero ARA 102 (001) 07.01.2013 made by an airline pilot. Other testimonies will appear in the press. Given the witnesses' accounts, the observed phenomenon is most likely the re-entry into the atmosphere of a satellite debris, possibly from the satellite Iridium 33. This case is classified as "B".
