Remarks | I was driving northbound and talking to my wife. We both went silent for a moment before discussing what we had seen. I didn't see the initiation of the fireball as it came into view from above my line of sight through the windscreen. I have observed flares (used by shipping and yatchsmen) and it was too fast for that. It was travelling West to east across, so I guessed it may have been the end of trajectory of space debris? Or a Meteorite? - I have seen shooting stars at night, but this was just about sunset. It cannot be distinguished from my car-cam video, but I can send it if you want to try some enhancement? This would be on a "data protected" basis for your scientific study only. |
