Fireball over Saint-Jean de Maurienne

Summary

On October 7, 2001, several independent witnesses in the Savoie region observed a fast-moving green fireball with white glowing points and trails. The event occurred at around 7:30 PM and was classified as level B by the GEIPAN, indicating a clear observation without definitive confirmation.

The witnesses provided consistent descriptions of the object, increasing the credibility of the case. While it is likely that the object was entering the atmosphere, other explanations remain possible. Such events often spark curiosity and debate, especially when the origin cannot be conclusively identified.
