Carlos Augusto Di Pietro 6:09am Apr 3 O rastro na imagem stack está muito constante para um meteoro, os flashes poderiam ser as luzes estroboscópicas, já que o flare não vem de todo o objeto mas de uma de suas laterais e ocorre a esquerda e depois a direita. Luzes de sinalização podem ser acesas durante o dia (especialmente se for atravessar ou tiver atravessado nuvens Cumulos) e são bem brilhantes pois as lâmpadas são de Xenonio.

The stack trace in the image is too constant to a meteor flashes the strobe lights could be, since the flare does not come from any object but its side and the left and then the right occurs. Signal lights can be switched on during the day (especially if you go through or have gone through cumulus clouds) and are very bright because the bulbs are xenon.

Thank you Carlos!

01APR2014 Mr Jones Three Bridge, West Sussex, UK approx 19.15 GMT approx 40 seconds Didnt see the start, but it didnt seem to have start for long. Direction was West to East. I was facing North Black smoke, couldnt hear anything no brightnes just a lot of black smoke --- I live near Gatwick an i have seen many planes but this was different. It very difficult to judge the height but it seemed to be quite high. About the height of the other clouds at the time. (nice day clear skyes with just the type of cloud you get in summer not exactly clouds if you know what i mean.) I could not see the thing that was creating the thick black smoke because it was didnt see any. -- travelling away from me and It seemed to be going quite quick for the height. It was making a great deal of black smoke compared to the white smoke i normally see coming from a plane. The source of the smoke seem to be coming out of the back of whatever it was. Not split like a plane. It left a trail of black smoke/cloud approx half way accross the sky. I think it took about 40 seconds to go accross the sky. I couldnt hear anything because i was getting of the train and walking down the platform as it started to vanish out of my sight behind some tall trees. I have no idea what it was but i thought you may be interested.

My wife came home at about 23:10 CEDST from playing cards
with her "girls" and this is what she told me ... and she was very
excited: "I was on my way to our car when something suddenly lit up the
Eastern sky. It was dazzling bright, had a greenish color, apparent
diameter ca. 2 inches, color greenish, duration seveal seconds, length
of luminous train (apparently 50-60 cm). She and her "girls" heard no
sonic boom." Location: Mannheim - Rheinau (Rheinau is a place about 10 km east
of Mannheim). Best wishes, Bernd  Thanks Bernd!
