An account in Polynésie française, France

On July 27, 2015 at 8:00 PM (Tahiti time), a witness observed a long incandescent trail with parts that broke off and moved east to west. The continuous observation lasted between 30 and 40 seconds. The phenomenon disappeared behind the clouds. Only one testimony was collected. Given the elements collected, namely: - The time of the reentry was identical to that of the observation. - Existing data on the SATOBS site. - Physical and dynamic characteristics of the observation in all points similar to those of a reentry of space debris. GEIPAN classifies this case as "A" as a certain observation of the disintegration during its atmospheric reentry of a Soyuz rocket stage catalogued under the number "15035B/40745", the day after its resupply of the ISS.
