| Name | Marianne S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | The length of time the meteorite was in my vision for (about 4 seconds) the trajectory remained the same, quite high above the horizon, the brightness was astonishing and the way it “vapourised” in front of my eyes and my husbands, made it a very exciting experience. We could hardly believe what we were seeing. We were travelling in a campervan so had a huge view of the sky |
