Hello folks,
I am not an astronomer or anything like that, I am software
engineer. But, I have to report this somewhere or I will die ... ;o)
I live in Larnaca, on the beautifull island of Cyprus.
I was walking home this evening at about 9:30 PM local time when
something up on the dark, but VERY clear, sky grabbed my attention. It
was a celestial body, too big for meteorite. I spot meteorite a lot
here, as there is no pollution. This one was very big and it contained
two seemingly round parts, both of which were seemingly round, left
was a bit bigger. Of course, the entire body was burning. It's outer
surface was brighter then inner and then it shrinked until it all
burnt out.
It was flying from south-south-east to north-north-west,
approximately.
It was burning for about 5 seconds, until it burnt out.
But, for those 5 (five) seconds I was starring at it immovable.
You can ask me what ever you want, but I don't think I remember
anything else.
