Reports Report 1774r (Event 1774-2019)

Observer
Name Kim Lund S
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks It caught my eye through our window in the bedroom. I have seen thousands of shooting stars, but never anything as bright as this. I believe it had a somewhat flat trajectory, as it was a a pretty low angle on the sky and lasted for 2-3 seconds. The trail was very thick and solid white. It fluctuated in thickness. from the beginning to the middle it got gradually thicker and then halfway it suddenly got thinner and disappeared after a while. It reached the brightness of the street lamp we have outside the window. That was very remarkable. That is why it caught my eye.
