The report, as filed
Le 11 juin 2003 vers 02 heure 30 les équipages de plusieurs avions observent durant quelques secondes le passage d'une forte lueur bleue verte qui semble très proche de l'avion pour certains membres d'équipage. Cette lueur est probablement due à une rentrée atmosphérique. [GEIPAN classification B — Rentrée atmosphérique]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2003-06-01612). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
