Reports Report 1467asn (Event 1467-2026)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Andreas T |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I observed a bright, yellowish flash moving across the northern sky. It was significantly slower than a typical meteor. After the main flash, a persistent ionization trail remained visible for several minutes (see attached photo). The trail was distorted by high-altitude winds, showing a typical zigzag pattern. The observation matches the predicted re-entry trajectory of the ISS "Exposed Pallet 9" (EP9) over Central Europe. |
