| Name | Tim D |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Given the geopolitical situation, I first thought it may have been a (hypersonic) missile, even though Western Europe is out of reach of Iran. The object crossed my entire vision range in a matter of 4 to 10 seconds. My vision was not even limited by trees or buildings. It was beautiful and ominous, unfortunately I was driving so I couldn't get the phone out. I also think that I would have been too late regardless. The piece of the tail right behind the object (?) was a very beautiful light greenish and mixing with very bright yellow/white. First time I have ever seen such a thing. I was on the highway E19, driving towards Brussels, about 1.7 kilometers before the exit to Zemst. I would very much like to know what it was. |
