Taxi driver observes object in 2011

Summary

On the night of September 24, 2011, a Paris taxi driver witnessed a luminous phenomenon crossing his field of view. The object, described as a green fluorescent cone with a red line, moved silently and horizontally. Although the witness did not get more details, the description matches the characteristics of a fireball, that is, a meteor entering the atmosphere. However, since only one camera from the BOAM network recorded the event, it cannot be confirmed with certainty that it was a meteor. The case is classified as type B, indicating a likely observation of a fireball.

The GEIPAN report notes that while the testimony is coherent and the phenomenon appears real, the lack of additional evidence limits any definitive conclusion. Cases like this, although unresolved, help researchers better understand luminous phenomena in the sky. In this case, the description of the object and its rapid movement suggest a natural explanation, but no other possibility can be completely ruled out.
