| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I was a pilot flying as CRN711 at 25000ft altitude when we saw the meteor so close to us and so bright it washed out paperwork and aircraft screens. It was so close it felt it was right above our wing, and the detail of the fragmentation was so clear I could see each one separately. The event occurred for around 5 seconds, and it left no trail. I thought I heard meteor sound at the same time, but I think it was just me imagining it. |
