Those things are very popular these days, I get many reports of them and have seen a couple of them myself the last year.SatTrackCam Leidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08711764306071043709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-44953585376449040412011-12-26T15:48:17.690+01:002011-12-26T15:48:17.690+01:00At 1728 pm i was driving in nu car best the Southe...At 1728 pm i was driving in nu car best the Southern Dutch border and i saw an object very clearly with a long lightened up rail, at least 20 times the size of the object.<br />Going from my.point of view from west to east, with a slowly downwards angle of decent.<br />After a minute of seeing it pass beyond line of sight.

We believed to see an airplane in trouble or a meteor. I'm an experienced stargazer and have never in my life seen such an enormous firball! The four accompanying persons testified also this wonderfull scientific observation. We couldn't explain what we saw to the rest of our family later on the evening, but it was just a thrilling experience.bloggerpbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422189707004352591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-73973401496879262442011-12-25T13:17:41.203+01:002011-12-25T13:17:41.203+01:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4JRiHP1YVU

Our sky was clear. I could not place the event right away, as it was visible for over a minute, with a nice tail. After hearing reports in the media about a meteor, I was not convinced. since it looked just different. Now the pieces fall in place after reading the reports here. I am happy to have seen this, one more observing for the "log".A.M. van der Weidenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759713901934641256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-70389905108211216102011-12-25T12:44:02.419+01:002011-12-25T12:44:02.419+01:00Hi,

It was visible for 1-2 minutes at about 22:10 local time (21:10 UT). There was not tail, there were no regular blinking lights, and there was no sound. Remarkably, our skies were cloud covered..<br /><br /><br />Jean and Gabrielle.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11121058007375740209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15164221.post-40200661054886461582011-12-25T11:04:10.657+01:002011-12-25T11:04:10.657+01:00We saw nearly the same over south Germany near Stu...We saw nearly the same over south Germany near Stuttgart but it must have been around 24:00 h German time.

We thought it must be a satellite burning up, from the speed, varying brightness and debris trail. Its trajectory towards the East was quite appropriate for Christmas Eve...
