Green light splitting into three spheres

Summary

On February 20, 2011, a driver in the Eure region observed a green fluorescent light moving quickly across the sky. The light split into three spheres before disappearing. Although the phenomenon could resemble a typical meteor, with green light, a straight trajectory, and short duration, this case involved an unusual fragmentation. The report classifies it as a type B phenomenon, indicating a plausible but not definitive explanation.

GEIPAN researchers consider the object could be a small satellite debris, although it is more likely a natural phenomenon, such as a meteorite. Despite the clear description from the witness, no images or additional data were obtained to confirm the object's nature. This case remains an interesting example of how aerial events can be difficult to classify without further evidence.
