Sighting on February 6, 1995 in Saint-Martin (Guadeloupe, France). GEIPAN considers the phenomenon probably identified (class B).

What happened

A witness who was out walking at around 7:20 p.m. noticed a point of light moving across the sky. As it traveled, it grew steadily more incandescent. It then disappeared by splitting into two red points.

The GEIPAN investigation concluded that the witness most likely saw an atmospheric re-entry. The case was classified B, meaning probably identified.
