Fireball over Saint-Affrique

Summary

On March 25, 2008, at 21:15, a witness in Saint-Affrique (Aveyron) observed a fireball with a long tail moving from west to north. The object, orange in color, followed a descending trajectory and was visible for about 8 seconds. Although it might initially seem like a UFO event, experts suggest it was likely a typical atmospheric entry, such as a meteor or a space fragment. This kind of phenomenon, while striking, is relatively common and can be explained with astronomical knowledge.
