The report, as filed
Le 06 février 1995 à 19h20 un témoin à pied observe la trajectoire d'un point lumineux qui devient de plus en plus incandescent avant de disparaître en se séparant en deux points rouges. L'observation du témoin est vraisemblablement celle d'une rentrée atmosphérique. [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]
