Yesterday morning, around 4:50 a.m., several Dijon residents reportedly saw a sudden luminous trail, seeming to follow an elongated body, orange in color.
It seems that the phenomenon occurred under the clouds, relatively low (around 1,500 m.), which would rule out the meteor or shooting star hypothesis.
Did some of our readers also see it?
