Yes, I noticed it... In first moment I was surprised with buildings
shown on video, which surely aren't in Croatia. They remind me also to
Spain :-)
Now, I will write a public letter to dnevnik.hr and other media. There
are a lot of mistakes in every article about meteors and meteoritzes
here in Croatia [nomenclature is wrong (meteors are sometimes comets,
meteorites are usualy meteors etc.), everry report is very spectacular
(like a recent one, in which they wrote that Zagreb was under barage
fire of huge asteroids --- actualy, one of our cameras in Zagreb
captured one stationary -1m meteor)]. A few times I wrote about
meteors, insisting in IAU's nomenclature, but evidently it's not
enough...
Best regards,
Nikola
