| Name | Christian D |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I’ve Seen loads of shootingstars, but never anything like that. That fireball got me in panic first, cause I thought it was a missile first (you See those videos all over social Media atm). It was unbeliveable bright although it wasn‘t completely Dark outside. I have many photos, but not directly from the fireball itself, cause my mum was on the phone and I was screaming. Never Seen something Like this in my life before. |

| Remarks | In my photo you see the trail, not the fireball itself. It looked like a smoketrail, standing in the sky for a very long time. When it appeared, the sky turned flashing bright. Like a flash, but way longer. Looked like the Trail from a plane, straight first but then wider. I thought it was a missile first (although i‘m located in germany). I have way more photos of that. Hit me up if you want them. |
