On April 20, 2016 at around 2:50 a.m., a motorist on the D786 before La Couture (town of Erquy (22)) is surprised by a flash in the clear sky, then observes a large white trail with at its end a green material. The observation of the object heading toward the sea lasts three seconds. No other testimony is collected. As the witness considered, this is indeed a meteor observation, an observation reported in several places in Normandy and in Paris. See the IMO website (International Meteor Organization). GEIPAN classifies this case as A: observation of a meteor.
