🇫🇷 GEIPAN / CNES
A witness in France reported in 2011 the observation of an oval-shaped, bright white phenomenon crossing the sky silently. The object quickly disappeared over the horizon, raising questions about its nature. Researchers from the GEIPAN considered the possibility that it was a meteorite or a space debris entering the atmosphere. The date and trajectory direction matched the activity of the Perseid meteor shower. The case was shared with meteorite specialists for further analysis.
