| Name | Lukas K |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I am researching a lot on meteorites and I collect them. So I have seen many videos of fireballs before but of course never ever expected to observe one myself. I would be very happy to get updated if it was a meteorite or space trash. I would be also happy to provide more information. I’ve been driving on the highway when I saw the event so I can not 100% confirmed my angle of view. To me it looked like the objects went into dark flight the moment I saw it and straight after the fragmentation. |
