Did You See a Fireball Over Warsaw?
If a brilliant streak just crossed the sky over Warsaw, 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 Warsawand 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.
