Luminous Ball in Vouzailles

Summary

A couple in Vouzailles observed a luminous ball passing quickly across the sky in just two seconds. The description includes a faint trail, suggesting a phenomenon similar to a fireball, that is, a meteoroid entering the atmosphere. Although the witness estimated it to be only 100 meters away, this is likely a misperception due to the lack of reference points. The clear sky made the object very visible, making it seem closer than it actually was. The GEIPAN classified the case as "B", indicating a likely observation of a fireball, but without conclusive evidence. Although the possibility of an artificial light, such as a motorcycle headlight or a flashlight, was considered, it did not match the observed direction.
