| Name | Martin S |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was more than 12 seconds.. I was walking and facing the opposite direction and I don't know why I turned around and I saw it first with the white of my eye, so I didn't see it's actual start. And it didn't burned, I think it survived. In around the 10.5 second it stopped burning, it's tail disappeared and it turned in red-orange color still flying with the same speed and direction and it slowly became invisible. Like it cooled down. I'm 99% sure it survived and has hit the ground somewhere. How can I help (potentially) finding it? I've seen hundreds of meteorites but nothing like this one. It was........ I perfectly know what I saw. |
