Atmospheric reentry observed by pilots in Paris

Summary

On March 16, 2002, several pilots reported a green light with a visible trail passing quickly through the sky. The phenomenon was observed from different aircraft and is believed to be the result of an object entering Earth's atmosphere. The GEIPAN classified the case as "B," indicating a clear observation without a conventional explanation. Despite the brief nature of the event, the detailed description and the coincidence of multiple aerial witnesses generated interest in the case.

The green light, accompanied by a clear trail, did not show signs of typical meteorite disintegration. The pilots did not report any sounds or vibrations associated with the object's passage, adding to the mystery of the event. Although no definitive explanation has been found, the observation remains an intriguing example of a possible unidentified atmospheric entry.
