| Name | Philip F |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The video is 60 seconds long. It is from my car dashcam. The fireball appears at 38 seconds and disappears at 40 seconds, travelling from the top of the picture towards the right hand side. The dashcam focuses mainly on the road, so capturing this up in the sky is very unusual (and a feature of how bright it was). It appeared a lot brighter in real life. It was brighter, lower and faster than any shooting star I have ever seen before in my life. It was a real "wow" moment. Please also note that the time stamp is incorrect on the video, the video is still set to daylight saving time and we have moved to GMT. The time was definitely 21:34 and 38 seconds GMT. |
