An account in Var, France

On January 5, 2015 at 7:41 PM, a witness observed the passage of a single phenomenon, white, blue, and green in color, very bright with a trail. As the witness suspected, this observation of a white-blue-green luminous point, followed by a trail, crossing part of the sky quickly in a few seconds, has all the characteristics of a bolide, that is, the phenomenon produced in the upper atmosphere by the fall of a meteorite. The REFORME network confirms this hypothesis (see attached document). GEIPAN classifies this case "A": observation of an atmospheric reentry of a meteoroid.
