| Name | Ferdinand Z |
| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | The object was exceptionally bright, far exceeding the brightness of a common shooting star. I observed a vivid color spectrum starting with glowing white, transitioning through green and blue, and ending in intense orange and red. The fireball concluded its visible flight as a distinct orange sphere before abruptly vanishing. I saw this by accident, I’m not an astrological spectator, but it was the brightest, most colourful and weirdest thing I saw in a sky by far , and ist was definitely not a normal shooting start — No fragmentation or sounds were noticed from my elevated position with free sight (2nd floor). I hope this information can help you, and maybe some others in Europe have seen it too. |
