Observer
Name Mikkel L
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Uncertain about the precise time. But it was between 18:00 and 18:15 DK time I believe. It was traveling in an almost straight direction from west to east. brightness lasting only a few seconds. It looked very much like an elongated flame. And it wasnt a streetlight :) they dont move like that, and it was way above streetlights.

Remarks It was a bright flash flying over the sky above me. light elongated across the sky which was thicker at the front and a bright tail tapered behind it. it was only visible for a few seconds and then seem to fade quickly. I didnt notice a lasting darker tail. It was at the time of getting dark, but not quite dark. Im not quite sure about the time but it was after 18:05 -18:15. I was in my car, and didnt hear any sound.
