Reports Report 831cf (Event 831-2020)
| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Laetitia S |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | Determining the angle with google map on your website is not easy, I was driving, it appeared straight in front of me, I didn’t have to look up, I thought initially that it was a flying star, but it lasted, so I thought it was a plane light until it started changing and slowly disintegrating, then I realised it was a meteorite. What a wonderful and exciting sight! :-) my position on the A10 and the time are approximate estimations since I was driving but I hope can be used to corroborate with other sightings... :-) |
