UFO classified as a fireball in France

Summary

On May 7, 2015, a witness in Limeil-Brevannes, France, reported a very bright and silent object moving quickly across the sky. The description resembles a shooting star but with a lower trajectory than usual. This led the GEIPAN to consider the possibility of a fireball, a meteoroid entering Earth's atmosphere. Additionally, the BOAM system recorded a similar event at 2:27 UTC, captured by a camera in Gretz-Armainvilliers. The timing and direction of the object suggest a connection to the Eta-Aquarids meteor shower, a known phenomenon during this time of year. The GEIPAN classified the case as "A", indicating a clear observation of a meteoroid.
