At about 10:30 p.m. on February 18, 2005, two witnesses in different departments of eastern France saw a rapidly moving luminous trail. One described it as green and the other as white. It vanished within a few seconds. The archived assessment considered atmospheric entry the likely explanation. It also noted press reports a few days later that numerous people in northeastern France had seen a small meteorite fall. The summary does not itself establish that material was recovered.
