What happened
A driver and their passenger saw a cylindrical object for about three seconds. It gave off a flickering light, and the witnesses said it looked like a javelin. It crossed the sky at very high speed, and they lost sight of it before it reached the horizon.
No further information was gathered about the phenomenon. Based on the two witnesses' description, it resembles an atmospheric re-entry, which is why GEIPAN classified the case as B (probably identified).
