| Remarks | I have seen a meteorite in the past, about 4 years ago. It was blueish white and had a significant trail begind it. This one one was rounder was bright white in the centre with an orage glow to the edges, it was very bright and smoothly outlined and fast descending then just gone. I was at the end of my driveway putting the bins out, I was walking toward its angle in the sky and it was suddenly there in front of me, i watched it descend and move towards my left its brightness caught my eye and lasted about 5 seconds. |
