Green light in La Verrière

Summary

On June 2, 2010, around 8:30 PM, a witness in La Verrière (Haute-Saône, France) observed a luminous object with an oval shape and a fluorescent green color. The object appeared from the south and moved rapidly northeast along a straight trajectory. No sound was heard and no trail was seen, suggesting a fast and ephemeral aerial phenomenon.

The description matches the atmospheric entry of a meteorite, especially due to the short duration (1 to 2 seconds) and the fluorescent green color typical of such events. The GEIPAN classified the case as B, indicating it was likely the atmospheric entry of a meteor. Although brief, the observation provides interesting data for the study of unidentified aerial phenomena.
