(meteorobs) Bolide over Greece (20/7)

[Grigoris Maravelias]

Dear friends,

I have witnessed a huge fireball over the Greek skies at 23:49 UT of 
20th of July, during the 1st Annual Meeting of Amateur Astronomical 
Societies in Greece (more people have seen it too, i will try to collect 
more data) . . It was heading from Altair to Andromeda galaxy more or 
less...Mag around full moon perhaps. More detail can be seen at the 
report i have sent to IMO fireball section. I hope that it was not a 
reentry, but are you aware of any at that time?

Best wishes,
Grigoris
