AnomalyOn October 20, 1990 between 6:30 PM and 6:45 PM, a witness and his wife were walking on the Chemin des Romains in Pennautier (11) when a luminous ball of intense white color appeared in the sky. This ball was followed by a luminous trail of the same color. The whole thing followed a curved SO-NE trajectory and quickly disappeared behind the houses bordering the path. No noise was heard. The total duration of the observation is not indicated. Only one testimony was collected. The description of the UAP resembles that of a bolide. Of medium strangeness and consistency (single testimony), this case turns out to be a probable misidentification with a perfectly known astronomical phenomenon: the atmospheric entry of a meteoroid.
