meteor
This is quite spectacular! To be fair I'd be terrified to unexpectedly witness this not knowing what it was!!!
Meteor lights up sky over Portugal:

this is not #AI
this is not a scene from a movie
this is simply a one in a billion video shot at the right time at the right angle by a teenager in #portugal a few days ago, may 18/ 19
fucking amazing! positively biblical
experts say it was a #comet fragment, a few feet wide
Look now, look quick – a shooting star!
Make your wish! It’s very far
From here to where the active light
Set out and streaked across a night
In Glasgow’s greatly dark November…
