- Thousands of witness reports, artwork
- Mass media saturated
- Fireball reports common, but accompanied by more artificial structured objects
- Some reports of EM effects on computers, car radios

Some witnesses described it as 'giant triangles' crossing the sky. Except that it was the re-entry of a Russian Proton rocket (designation 1990-094C), used to launch a Gorizont satellite. Satellite orbit guru Ted Molczan has prepared this map, showing the trajectory of the object as it traveled (west to east) across France. This matches up extremely well with the time and trajectory of the reported "UFO."

"Credible people reporting incredible things." But quite inaccurately.
