| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The funny thing was I was watching the moon as a girlfriend apped me about it, that it was totally visible besides the bright white sickle. Standing outside on my balcony I had my phone in hand and wanted to film it, but then I thought 'Aah, why should I film that', when suddenly the meteor appeared at the sky, and thinking it would disappear soon it lasted for like 7 seconds, making it the 2nd biggest, brightest and longest shooting star I've ever seen in my life. |
