Observer
Name Ramona M
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Driving on the highway towards Romania, facing East-North-East. The object moved across the sky in that direction. Duration: several seconds, clearly longer than a normal meteor. Colors: white, orange, yellow. Fragmentation: yes, multiple parallel streaks visible, breaking apart during flight. Brightness: bright, comparable to Venus or brighter. Bright fragmentation event visible in the night sky over Leskovac, Serbia. Multiple parallel luminous streaks were observed, lasting several seconds (much longer than a normal meteor). Colors: white, orange, yellow. The object appeared to break into fragments, moving East-North-East. Very different from a single meteor – most likely a space debris re-entry. I recorded both a photo and a short video.
