Abu Dhabi Meteor 9.15pm 4AUG2011


Abu Dhabi Meteor 9.15pm 4th Aug 2011


Want to report a huge meteor ( it could only be I guess). I stay in Abu Dhabi.
At about 9.15 pm tonight , I saw a extremely fast moving object at about a 30 to 40 deg angle travelling in east to west direction. Too fast to identify exactly.
Had a long tail and seemed so close that I thought it was going to hit the ground nearby. I have seen shooting stars etc before, this was nothing even close.
Hope someone else saw this as my wife thinks I am going crazy!
Regards,
Neil S. (contact info)
