Fireball can be seen above the Netherlands | Inland

Several people reported the shooting star on Twitter. The fireball was seen in the vicinity of Schiphol and Groningen, among other places. “Very impressive,” someone writes on Twitter. Videos of people who have captured the burned space rock, for example with a dashcam, also appear on Twitter.

“W00000t !!! I just see something strange in the sky: from south-southeast to northwest, there was a line through the sky with flames behind it, ”someone else said.

The meteor appeared for about eight to ten seconds before extinguishing. “And that is usually the case,” says Severin in Het Parool. “A thing like that burns high in the atmosphere, so a very large part of northwestern Europe can see it. Certain meteor showers have an increased chance of fireballs, because “There are some larger stones in that space dust. Last Tuesday we had the peak of the Leonids. It may be that this was part of it, but before we know that more information must be collected.”
