So i was talking to my cousin in Tirana when i saw the ball. We thought for a moment it was Starlink as it has passed before. Then I saw that social media was full today with people saying rockets have crossed Tirana. Ofc i wasn’t that dumb to think rockets, but according to all the videos I could see and my very own experience this is the best description i could make to a celestial event from what I derive.
