Experience Level | 2/5 |
Remarks | Best way to describe what I saw was that it was like a comet that had broken apart, as while the front of it had 3 notable burning fragments at the front closely apart (using binoculars), what followed behind it was a very long cloudy like tail (which stretched across a part of the sky) with what looked like lots of smaller debris inside this cloudy tail, I've never seen anything like this before and the only other thing it could logically be is a satellite that was burning up in the atmosphere.As for time I weren't 100% sure, but this sighting likely happened from around 5:35am to 5:40am. |
