Atlantic coast 1991, high-speed green fireball

Summary

On November 28, 1991, around 10:30 PM, at least 25 witnesses scattered along the Atlantic coast and southwestern France saw for a few seconds a very bright green fireball moving at high speed and without noise. Several accounts agreed that the object broke apart in a shower of sparks. The deduced trajectory ran from southeast to northwest. Investigators considered it likely to be a piece of space debris entering the atmosphere. GEIPAN classified the case as B — plausible but not definitive explanation.
