Two fireballs with black smoke over Fresnais

Summary

On February 5, 1999 at 5:30 PM, two witnesses in Fresnais (Ille-et-Vilaine) saw two fireballs falling at an angle from the sky, leaving dense black smoke trails behind them. The phenomenon was brief but striking, and the descriptions were clear. GEIPAN classified the case as B, considering the observation was likely an atmospheric entry of a natural object such as a meteorite. No physical remains were found, but the trajectory and description are consistent with an astronomical event.
