| Remarks | Ive seen fqlling stars before but this was much bigger, i turned around talking to someobe and suddenly in the back i saw it. it was surprisingly low, a few seconds, i even had time to tell someobe look a flying star. it was very bright, flaring up, like magnesium fire, left a clear long trail. sadly i was in a street ans aftee it flew behind a house i couklnt see it further, but judging by vids i saw the last bit anywat cause it flared up, lucky to have seen it. the people i was with were facing other side and didnt see it but notifies me of the news the next morning, so they knew i wasnt crazy. Was suprises to see it on the news today. i think total it was like 3 seconds |
