The report, as filed
Dans la nuit du 08 mars 1987, plusieurs témoins entendent vers 20h40 une déflagration importante. Un autre témoin aperçoit juste avant la déflagration, un objet ressemblant à une étoile filante de couleur rouge. Cet objet se déplace dans le ciel à grande vitesse. Il s'agit de la rentrée rentrée atmosphérique d'une météorite. [GEIPAN classification A — Bolide]
