| Fragmentation | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | I think fragmentation as I have seem many 'shooting stars' etc but this was different, almost bright and wide tail like a children's sparkler or something. At first i thought it might have been a fireworks but it was too high big and angle etc, I know that big meteor (I think its 'wj 2016 9'?) was supposed to come by end of February so I was left wondering if it may have been a part of that. Just looked awesome! Only just caught it as I turned and it was quite fast, so felt really privileged to have caught such an awesome display fo nature! |
