A conventional explanation is favored by the record but was never formally confirmed.
The report, as filed
Le 28 septembre 2007 à 3h 50 un point lumineux en déplacement est observé lors d'un vol régional. En route inverse à celui-de l'avion, la luminosité du phénomène diminuera progressivement. Trop bas pour être un satellite, l'équipage a probablement été témoin de la chute d'un météore. [GEIPAN classification B — Météore]
Held as-reported from GEIPAN, Centre national d'études spatiales (record GEIPAN 2007-09-01744). Witness text is preserved verbatim, including its spelling; nothing is edited beyond formatting.
