News Ball of fire sighted above NW Europe

[Marijn]

Today at ~14:45 (GMT+2) there was a ball of fire visible above The Netherlands, followed by reports from England, Germany and Denmark.

This is the second ball of fire in 2.5 months time. That's unusual.

I did kick some butts today, but I am not sure if this explains it....

Did some one mention Butts...?

It wasn't your butt, which I hope is still doing fine and not taking part in a no-deal draining.

That butt is long gone and definitely not taking part in Brexit, hopefully. That situation just gets worse.

Depends on which side of the channel you are. I can still enjoy the show, knowing that the bad things will arrive here later. :lol:



On the other hand, we have no need for butts anymore. No rain, no butts.

I think Butts are essential, don't know where I'd be without mine. In a circus probably.

I love how it flares up. That must be amazing to witness from right down below.

It was observed by a US military infra-red satellite. Here's the data: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/fireballs/
