| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | It was really magnificient, I've observed meteor showers around 5 times in my life and it was all good and nice (with some in clear mountain skys). I also observed some comets and am really keen on all astronomical stuff, this was something else. Happy to have had this experience. It seems several people saw it as well at 00-13-00:15 in my town. It was very close to the horizon. |

| Terminal flash | |
|---|---|
| Observation | Yes |
| Remarks | A very bright orange/yellow flash, it was 3 time larger than the trail. Trail itself was 2 times larger than the "regular" shooting stars I multiple times observed in summer in the mountains. The bigger "observed" size could be due to the fact it was close to the horizon (the same way the moon "feels" bigger when closer to horizon as well) |
