Summary

On 1 November 2007 at 20:34, a witness in Orgelet was closing their shutters when they saw a white flash resembling a shooting star or flare. It moved quickly from northeast to northwest at low altitude and was visible for just two or three seconds. GEIPAN classified it as a B case, pointing to the probable atmospheric entry of a meteorite or space debris, though this could not be confirmed with certainty.
