What happened
That morning, a witness found small craters in their garden, grouped at four spots. The grass was scorched all around them, and pieces of stone lay inside. No sighting or luminous phenomenon was reported: the witness simply noticed these marks on the ground.
The GEIPAN investigation classified the case as A (identified). It concluded that the small craters containing stony fragments were most likely the result of a meteorite fall.
