Red object in vertical descent over Brive-la-Gaillarde

Summary

A very brief case. On November 26, 1983, a driver in Brive-la-Gaillarde observed for barely one second a round object of 20 to 40 centimeters in apparent diameter, bright red with a white trail, falling vertically at high speed. No other details or physical evidence were recorded. GEIPAN concluded it was probably a meteorite and classified the case as B.
