Summary

In December 1978, a bus driver in Fontvieille (France) observed a silent, luminous object moving from north to south in the sky. He described it as a large green droplet of water, followed by three smaller ones. Passengers also saw it, but only the driver reported the event. The GEIPAN considered the possibility of a re-entry of space debris, but could not confirm it due to lack of precise details. An incident involving a military rocket at Biscarosse occurred around that time, but it did not match the direction or timing of the observation. The witness mentioned an article in *La Provence* about the event, but it was not found online. Without further information, the case was classified as "C" due to insufficient data.
