Bright White Ball with Red Trail in Corgnac-sur-l'Isle

Summary

On November 16, 1995, a witness in Dordogne saw a very bright white ball followed by a red trail for 2 to 3 seconds before it vanished. Its intense brightness and color sequence stood out. GEIPAN classified the case as B, pointing to an atmospheric entry—most likely a meteorite—as the most plausible explanation.
