The Skytinel observation network has registered a flight of a car, a bright meteor, over our country. The building appeared in the sky on Wednesday evening and most likely burned completely in the atmosphere. The phenomenon can be seen on the recording registered from the areas of Lesser Poland.
According to Skytinel's observation network, on Wednesday late in the evening around 20.30 a car flashed over a part of the country, i.e. a bright meteor.

“Our calculations show that a small meteoroid entered the atmosphere at an angle of 13 degrees into the earth's surface, and its initial speed was about 18 kilometers per second. The bright flight phase began over the Tatras, at a height of 92.5 kilometers. Then, meteoroid moved to the southeast and ceased to be visible less than 30 km west of the basket (Slovakia). As a result, he completely evaporated in the atmosphere ” – they were passed through social media.
Skytinel tracking this type of phenomena carried out calculations and, as she conveyed, the object that shone in the sky over the southern horizon could circle the sun in four years and two months.
The flight was registered by several different network research stations. One of them was a camera located in Stanisław Dolny in Lesser Poland.

Bolide. What is this phenomenon
The car is an extremely bright meteor. The phenomenon is created by entering the atmosphere of a building with a size of a few centimeters and more. At this time, its surface heats up to several thousand degrees of Celsius, which causes its combustion visible in the form of a spectacular streak in the sky.
