Case description

On 29 September 1987, 2 witnesses at Arras saw a bright white point move rapidly through a very clear sky for a few seconds. Its apparent diameter was greater than that of a shooting star. After following an almost straight path, it went out. GEIPAN considers the description indicative of a probable atmospheric entry.
