Luminous UFO seen in France in 1991

Summary

On November 28, 1991, around 10:30 PM, at least 25 witnesses along the Atlantic coast and in southwest France observed a very bright green ball for a few seconds. The object was moving at high speed and silently. According to some testimonies, the ball disintegrated into a shower of sparks. The general direction inferred from the reports points from southeast to northwest. Although considered a UFO sighting, investigators concluded it was likely a piece of space debris re-entering the atmosphere. This case was classified as category B by the GEIPAN, indicating a plausible but not definitive explanation.
