🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
On February 18, 2005, around 10:20 PM, the pilot and co-pilot of a Boeing 737 reported seeing an extremely bright light descending rapidly. The observation was brief but clear, and the crew identified it as a possible atmospheric entry. While such events are common in space, they always generate interest when observed from Earth. The case was classified as category B by the GEIPAN, indicating a report of some value, though not conclusive.
The object was not definitively identified, and there were no other witnesses or additional recordings. However, the testimony of the pilots, experienced professionals, adds credibility to the report. These types of records are valuable for researchers studying unexplained aerial phenomena, as they provide real and verifiable data. Although no definitive explanation was reached, the case remains an interesting example of what could be an unusual atmospheric entry or an unexplained phenomenon.
