Here is a approximative translation:

Dear astronomers,
In the 11 to 12 June night, at 0:31 local time (22:31 UT), I observed
something which seemed to be a fireball. The brightness was intermittent
(variable ?), white, bluish.
I live near Le Mans (48d00N, 0d12E) and the fireball went right to the
south horizon. We need other observations around Angers, Tours or Poitiers
and estimating it burned out at an altitude of 50km, we may find its path.
It went straight to the southern horizon and began at around 30d (of
altitude).
Thanks for any answer or observation.
Thomas

I will send him an email so that he can forward me further information. I
will also ask for some info on the 2 french mailing lists I am on.
