Did You See a Fireball Over Stockholm?
If a brilliant streak just crossed the sky over Stockholm, it was almost certainly one of two things — a natural meteor (a fireball, gone in seconds) or a human-made object falling back to Earth (a reentry, slower and often breaking apart). Here's what's recently been recorded near Stockholmand what's predicted to come down soon, plus how to tell which you saw.
A single fast flash = meteor; a slow, drawn-out glow with several pieces = a reentry.
From Stockholm, at around 59° latitude, only objects on orbits inclined at least that much can pass over you — so the reentry watch list below is filtered to the ones whose ground track can actually reach you.
