Meteor Fireball In Sweden

The Swedish are lucky people as they are witness to one of the most beautiful natural phenomena the natural world has known. A huge fireball streaked across the southwestern skies of Sweden early Saturday evening. Gothenburg (or Göteborg) SOS and air rescue service was inundated with reports of a fireball in the sky around 8pm Saturday Jan 17th.

Meteors typically burn up upon entry into Earth’s atmosphere, and there a chance this might be debris from a satellite. Either way you look at it it is certainly a spectacular event. The light show was fabulously bright and displayed an array of colors from bright blue streaks, a big blue-white flash, and a gorgeous red-orange and yellow tail.
