Hey,

I drove along the Eastern Way west when I noticed a light phenomenon quickly connecting across the sky. It was beautiful, too big and somehow too close to be a star flight.

Hello,

This meteor was observed widely in Estonia and there has been 1 sighting also in Denmark. Widespread observations in Estonia were also in the local news.

This meteorite has been registered in the International Meteorite Database:

Could you please add your observation also to the IMO database? That way there would be more information from different countries. You can use the following link:

Best regards, Robert Reisman from Estonia (I also saw the meteor)
