Bemerkungen | At 45 years old and thoroughly University educated and being a career science teacher, having lived most of my life in wilderness night viewing, being an avid star gazer.... this was the largest shooting star fireball that I have ever seen! I was watching the exact area of the sky when the fireball appeared. It lite up to almost twice the light brightness of a full moon quickly (with in a 1/4 of a second of time) and then maintained that brightness without varying. This phenomenon glided across the sky and disappeared beyond the horizon line over the course of approximately 4 seconds time. I stated disappearance occured 5 degree above horizon though that is only because the distance tree line obscured the actual horizon line at 5 degrees above the actual horizon line. That was truly a cosmic speed to observe! |
