| Remarks | The fireball exploded as bolide. The event is captured by my AMS138 (Cam6), but at that time I was outside on the roof top of my residence, it happened over my head a bit at the right side, I noticed suddenly brilliant flashing light light at all sides, noticed also my shadow created it, I turned back and looked at the upper region but noticed nothing of any source of light or any reason for it. I suspected it might be anything big - like fireball and waiting for the next morning for checking the camera detection. Finally I noticed it. And I was not wrong. |
