Several people in the Netherlands and Belgium witnessed a bright fireball in the sky on Tuesday October 27h at around 19:30 CET, the Dutch Astroblogs report.
According to Sott net:
Reports of this sighting were also posted on the ‘fireball reports‘ page of the International Meteor Organization. According to observers, the duration of the fireball varied from 3.5 to 7.5 seconds, and the brightness varied greatly between -4m and -22m, the latter being brighter than the full moon, as Astroblogs’ editor Arie Nouwen notes.
