Observer
NameAchim G
Experience Level2/5
RemarksFirst moment thought it was a firework but it was untypical therefor: direction parallel to the horizon, suddenly very bright under the clear winter sky for a few seconds and at the end it seems as it brokes into few smaller pieces. No afterglow. Never saw something like that in my 52 years.
