Case description

On Friday, 20 February 2009 at about 07:00, a motorist saw a blue-green luminous phenomenon pass northwest to southeast across the sky. GEIPAN could not corroborate the account using either amateur meteor observers' database or the French meteor observation network's database. Nevertheless, every reported characteristic was consistent with a meteoroid entering the atmosphere. The case was classified B as a probable fireball sighting, caused by a falling meteoroid.
