The report, as filed
Le 6 novembre 1990 vers 22h00 plusieurs témoins dans différents départements du Sud-Ouest ont observé une boule de feu orangée qui s'est désintégrée sans bruit. Sans l'ampleur de la rentrée atmosphérique de la veille, il s'agit vraisemblablement là d'une autre rentrée atmosphérique. [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 1990-11-01226). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
