| Name | Jaco B |
| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It came straight from the direction of Aldebaran so probably it was a Taurid. I've never seen such a bright shooting star, at first I thought it might be some sort of boat flare, of silent firework, but there was no sound and no fragmentation. Because it was my first time, maybe it did last anything between 1 and 2 secs but I remember it like some 2 or 3 secs, and, more important, I'm not shore if I saw the exact beginning, I was riding my bike, and something draw my attention, that's when I looked up and saw it fall. I was excited although I'v seen lots of films and photographs of brighter meteors. |
