AnomalyOn January 19, 1955 at around 10:10 PM, three people observed the passage of a luminous phenomenon from the northeast to the southwest. They described a white luminous disk followed by a long orange trail. No noise was heard during the 5 seconds of observation. The gendarmerie investigation did not manage to find any other witnesses to the phenomenon, apart from one person who said they saw something but could not give a precise date. GEIPAN classifies this case as B: probable observation of a bolide, that is, the atmospheric entry of a meteoroid.
