Düsseldorf On Saturday night, reports of a fireball sighting over Germany are piling up on the web. It is said that it moved from the west to the east. You’ve seen something?
On the page “Astronomie.at – Gahberg Observatory” there are descriptions of various people who made sightings in the evening sky over Germany, and even over the Düsseldorf region.
A user Chriskress wrote there: “Very bright fireball from Düsseldorf -Ludenberg to Mettmann. Then it disintegrated into various parts. Hour 18: 40h. “
Another user writes: “Fireball over Düsseldorf. Chipped in various parts. “
Florian Knechten writes to us: “In Cologne Junkersdorf, the meteorite was also very bright and clearly visible. It passed over us very fast and was only visible for about 20 seconds. Then it disappeared over the horizon. “
Nico B. writes us: “We can confirm this observation. We were in Lörick around 6.30pm and saw this ball of fire very fast and evenly bright in the sky. It seemed to be passing us to the east. An impressive show “.
Dieter Scholz writes to us: “I come from a town near Mainz. I went out with my dogs to the vineyards around 6:30 pm I was also very lucky to be able to observe this absolutely impressive ball of fire. I’ve never seen anything like this in my life, I’m still totally mesmerized! Everything was like in slow motion, the fireball was flying from west to east right in front of my eyes, you could see how the individual pieces had come loose and how it finally fell apart. Mega, I am very happy to have seen that. “
Another reader emailed us: “We saw the meteor or whatever it was crashing, it was heading towards Velbert / Wülfrath. So from Ratingen Homberg Dorfstrasse heading northeast. “
But there are also descriptions of the phenomenon in southern Germany: “Fireball sighted on the northern route of the Swabian Alb. Time 18.40. North facing. From west to east. It went very deep and disintegrated into bright blue-green parts. “
Many people who also made the sighting reacted to our readers’ call on Facebook.
