An open record of things people cannot explain

An account in Vienne, France

On June 27, 2013 (confirmed by email) at 11:45 PM, a witness observed for 3 to 4 seconds the silent movement of three luminous phenomena in a clear sky. Two phenomena shaped like rectangles were green in color, and the third was white in color. White or green luminous points crossing the horizon in a few seconds in a straight line may come from the atmospheric entry of a meteoroid, after fragmentation upon entering the atmosphere. To verify this hypothesis, GEIPAN searched for other testimonies or video recordings on the Amateur Meteor Observer Base (BOAM) but nothing matches this event well. For lack of cross-checks allowing this hypothesis to be supported, GEIPAN classifies this case as "C".
