An orange orb in Guyane, France

On October 27, 1977 at around 6 a.m., two people saw for a few seconds in the sky a red fireball followed by a long red and orange trail. This phenomenon moved from east to west at very high speed and disappeared suddenly in the sky. No noise was heard. These witnesses probably observed an atmospheric reentry.
