Clairvaux-les-Lacs 2010 UFO in flames

Summary

On May 17, 2010, a couple in Clairvaux-les-Lacs observed an unusual aerial phenomenon. They saw a triangular object on fire descending slowly, followed by another object that separated and formed a torch-like shape. The initial witness thought it might be a flaming ultralight aircraft, but subsequent investigations ruled out this possibility. The gendarmerie conducted a thorough search without finding any evidence. Although the possibility of a space debris was considered, such as an orbital fragment, the orbital inclination did not match the observed direction. In the end, the case was classified as "C" due to insufficient information to draw a conclusion.
