Dear list,
While walking the dog tonight (030929) I saw a bright meteor at approx.
21:10 UTC (+/- 5 min) moving from the planet Mars towards the southern
horizon (so the direction of movement was North - South). The brightness was
around mag -3 and the velocity was low for a meteor; it lasted for about 5
seconds.
I wonder if this might have been a satellite reentry ?

My position is: Loon op Zand (Netherlands)
lat. 51° 37' 34" N (51.6261° )
long. 05° 05' 07" E (05.0852° )
elev. +10 m above sealevel

Best regards,
Wim Holwerda
