Hi All

 

I was just looking at Vega and just left of it appeared a long line of bright objects (27/05/19 at around 00.04hrs). It was visible with the naked eye and it looked like a long line of bright dots, some brighter than others but it was travelling west to east. It looked like a flare or possibly something either burning up or skipping on our atmosphere. Any ideas please? Couldn't find anything on Stellarium etc. Wasn't planes etc.

Cheers

Think I just seen it pass again. Too faint to catch with my camera, but still amazing to see. 

Yeah was a lot fainter this time, lost visibility completely as it passed over me so only really got to see a few of the brighter ones at the end.

Hello

We were in south Wales by the Llyn Brainne on Friday night and we saw this as well first just before midnight and then 1.30am. It was a very clear night and the stars were plentiful and suddenly we saw this "train" of stars a few degrees above Jupiter. We could not believe our eyes especially after a beer or two but we were 6 of us and we all saw it. I have a picture on my iPhone but it is bad.

Cheers
