A luminous object seen in Joigny

Summary

On March 30, 2009, a family driving in the Yonne region of France noticed a bright, silent object moving rapidly across the sky. The object was oval-shaped, intensely glowing in a light green color and left a silver trail behind it. While the characteristics match those of a fireball—such as a meteoroid entering the atmosphere—there were no other witnesses to confirm this hypothesis. As a result, the case was classified as "B" by the GEIPAN, indicating it is a fireball observation likely caused by a meteoroid entering the atmosphere.
