| Observer | |
|---|---|
| Name | Marko T |
| Experience Level | 3/5 |
| Remarks | Meteor traveling almost horizontally, from SE to NW above Adriatic Sea, ending above coastal central Istria or toward Italy. Went behind clouds and re-emerged below, ended without a flash OR most likely behind Učka mountain (from my point of view). Saw it traveling 3-4 seconds. Was lucky to caught this though I'm observing Taurids casually this year. This is not the brightest I've seen this year but is the slowest. This was a steady white light ball, you could say slow-moving, but more precise would be medium to fast-moving, almost horizontally. |
