Bright flash in Meythet (France) 2015

Summary

On April 11, 2015, a witness in Meythet observed three luminous phenomena from their kitchen. First, a large white flash in the east, followed by a moving orange flash and finally a brief flicker. Investigators concluded that the first phenomenon could be a solar reflection on an airplane at high altitude, invisible to the naked eye. The second flash matches an Iridium satellite, known for its intense reflective glints. The final brief flicker is also attributed to solar reflections on visible satellites. The "B" classification indicates that these are natural phenomena with plausible explanations.
