| Remarks | I have seen other meteors/ shooting stars. I once saw a meteor that broke into several pieces and also left a tail behind it. It was incredible. But the one I saw this evening was really something else. It was so bright it light up the car park I was standing in, that's what made me look up. Then it covered a huge distance, almost the entire view of the sky from where I was stood. Bright green, and it didn't have a thin tail, it was thick, it had girth. Very impressive, I'm in awe. Thank you. |
