| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Vladimir K |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Even though I am not a space scientist I am quite certain it was a meteor, a once-in-a-few-years bright one for me. Not so sure about my magnitude assessment. I was at a roof terrace at the moment it lit up and was at its brightest, but facing northwest, I saw the light on the buildings around. Thought it was a lightning for an instant, so was indeed comparable to a full moon. |
