What happened
In the evening, a witness saw about ten points of light moving very fast across the sky above the Jura for a few seconds.
The GEIPAN investigation concluded that this was most likely an atmospheric re-entry, possibly connected to the one observed the same day in the south-west. The case was classified B, meaning probably identified.
