Sighting on June 25, 1995 in Moloy (Côte-d'Or, France). GEIPAN considers the phenomenon probably identified (class B).

What happened

Gendarmes were on night surveillance duty when, at around 11:45 pm, they saw a very bright ball of light go by. It moved very quickly and then disappeared. The source gives no exact duration for the sighting, no direction of travel and no weather conditions.

After review, GEIPAN classed the case as B (probably identified). Its conclusion was that the gendarmes most likely witnessed an atmospheric re-entry.
