BOURRIOT-BERGONCE (40) 10.11.1994

In 2010 a person reported a childhood observation on 10 November 1994 after 20:00 in Bourriot-Bergonce (40). From the rear seat of a car on a country road, he looked east through forest treetops and saw an intense green light pass, then a point of light beside it. After accelerating strongly, the object suddenly changed direction and disappeared northward. No unusual sound was heard. No other account was collected. Green colour and speed initially suggest a fireball, from space debris or a meteoroid entering the atmosphere. The direction change is very surprising; GEIPAN suggests that a second fireball or shooting star might coincidentally have begun as the first ended. Given the event's nature and age, it considers that a retrospective investigation would add no new evidence. Without factual support for this speculative hypothesis, GEIPAN classifies the case C: unidentifiable, with too little information for a firm assessment.
