Luminous ball with trajectory change over Marcellois

Summary

Around 23:50 on 1 March 2008, several people in Marcellois (Côte-d'Or) watched a bright circular object moving horizontally from east to west at low altitude. It suddenly changed course, descended and vanished with an intense flash. No debris was found on the ground. The case was classified as a probable atmospheric entry—likely a meteorite or piece of space debris whose final trajectory proved especially striking to observers.
