This report has been linked to the following event: Event 2823-2022
Observer
NameCallum M
Experience Level2/5
RemarksI’ve seen shooting stars before, I regularly do night time Timelapse’s and astrophotography, and have seen meteorite showers in the past. This was definitely a far greater experience than any shooting star I’ve ever seen. It was far larger and brighter than any shooting star I’ve seen. Me, my other half and daughter was sat by the window in the front room and it lit up my entire front room for a good few seconds. We were actually kind of worried especially with the after bang given that we are in high tensions with Russia. I understand that might sound a bit strange but that was the immediate thought. A few others in the area, felt and heard the bang and a few others said they had seen the fireball.
