What happened

At around 10:30 pm, a witness noticed a very bright point of light in the sky, larger than a star. It first moved very slowly. Then it suddenly accelerated and vanished within two seconds.

The file holds no further information about the sighting. GEIPAN classified it as C, meaning insufficient data: the lack of information made it impossible to offer an explanation.
