An account in Seine-et-Marne, France

On July 9, 2015 at around 7 p.m., two witnesses in the Seine-et-Marne department (77) observed the rapid passage of a luminous phenomenon in the sky. The phenomenon is described as a luminous ball with a trail. This observation, lasting a few seconds, of a luminous ball followed by a trail is typical of the bolide phenomenon. See the article a bolide? . The GEIPAN received another report of a simultaneous observation and the specialized site IMO (International Meteor Organization) received 14. (see on the IMO site . The GEIPAN therefore classifies this case as A: certain observations of an atmospheric reentry of a meteoroid, having caused a bolide.
