Rustang Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 (edited) While I often see the very quick dash of a meteorite, I saw my second best tonight! It lasted about 3-4 seconds was really clear and bright with a nice little tail. A very nice little meteriote. Unfortunately my best view will take some beating, I was up in Kendal years ago and me, my brother and my Dad watched a big fire ball, it was actually burning orange, with a long tail, two little ones trailing behind, it came from in the distance, flew over my brothers house and off into the distance again, we all stood there draw dropped as it came over head. One amazing experience and knocked the socks off the recent one that a few people saw. Tonight's was still cool though! 😊 Edited April 3, 2021 by Rustang 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Nice sighting ! Always a thrill to see a little fragment of the early solar system burn up in the atmosphere. I think they are meteors unless they are proved to have reached the earths surface when they become meteorites 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

niallk Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Nice! I love catching these: I've been lucky to catch a few, and would love to get an all sky camera sometime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
