A meteor was observed over northern Sweden on Sunday. Eleven-year-old Ailine Lundqvist in Skellefteå managed to film the celestial phenomenon. Many people from Kiruna to Umeå posted on social media about seeing something bright flash across the evening sky.
Johan Kero, a researcher in atmospheric and space physics at the Institute of Space Physics, said that if the time matches Finnish time 17:49 – Swedish time 16:49 – it was a bright meteor reported by many in Finland that left a smoke trail. Ailine Lundqvist was in a car on the E4 north of Skellefteå and was quick enough to film the event with her mobile phone camera. She said she has seen shooting stars, but they did not burn and shine like that, and this one really shone in colors.
