| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I started looking at the night sky some years ago, started taking pictures of it with my phone recently. I had a clear sky to observe meteor shower, when I saw this "fireball". As I'm not an expert in any way, I can't tell what this was, but it's the first time of my life I see a shooting star that big, that made approx. 20° of travel facing down. I'd say it was about half the size of moon (from my pov of course) |
