AnomalyThe witness observed a very strong light, green in color, followed by an orange trail, which crossed the sky in 3 to 4 seconds on February 22, 2014 at 8:10 PM. This phenomenon, called a bolide, was very likely caused by the fall of a meteoroid into the atmosphere. The press reported the event: they saw the meteorite in the sky but no other witness reported the observation to GEIPAN. Nothing is reported on the BOAM site (cameras), but France was under cloud cover except the southeast. GEIPAN classifies this case "B": observation of atmospheric reentry of a meteoroid (meteorite fall).
