On 16 October 2002 at about 19:30 UT, the crew of an A320 flying from Lisbon to Orly briefly saw 2 very bright lights pass above their aircraft at a considerable distance, estimated at more than 35 km. Their path was fast and descending. GEIPAN considered the observation probably an atmospheric entry, which was also how the crew identified it.
