The report, as filed
Le 7 avril 2003 vers minuit, un témoin observe le passage bref d'une lumière verte de la taille d'une très grosse étoile en chute verticale qui disparaît avant de toucher le sol. Il s'agit de l'observation vraisemblable d'une rentrée atmosphérique. [GEIPAN classification B — Phénomène identifié non indiqué]
