SINGAPORE: A bright light across the sky took many Singaporeans by surprise on Sunday evening.
Callers to our hotline said that at about 7.40pm, they saw a bright green light across the evening sky.
Some described it as a shooting star; others said it was like a satellite re-entering the earth's atmosphere.
They also said it was not very high up in the sky and it had streaked over brightly from east to west.
It was over in a matter of seconds.
Viewers called us from all over Singapore – Serangoon North, Sembawang, Woodlands, Selegie Road, Bedok, Bukit Panjang and Marina South.
Ismail Yussof, one of the eyewitnesses, said: "I thought it was a comet. I was stunned, staring at the sky. A lot of people were watching it.
His son managed to record the scene with the video function of his mobile phone. "It's like an aeroplane, very big. The front is like a canon ball, full of colours - orange, yellow, blue and green. And it went off very fast, in about 10 seconds. I could see it very clearly."
The meteorological service said it had no information on the phenomenon as it was too small to be reflected on satellite pictures. - CNA/so -
I saw it too, abt 7.30pm plus. I think it's quite low & slow compare to other shooting stars or meteorite I hv seen. To me it was greenish & quite bright, it shot across for about 2 seconds, so no chance to take photo.

no body know wat is it........ -
People are getting crazy over such an event over the night sky... This only happens in Singapore because the night sky we normally see is dark with few stars only... shooting stars are rare... not to mention meteor showers.... When I was over at Australia, the sky is packed with lots of little stars.... millions and millions of them.... and if you stare at the sky, you'll see quite a few shooting stars every night! And regarding the one spotted in Singapore, I saw something similar at Australia too... A very bright green streak that flashed across the sky... got to be a shooting star that's quite large in size.. most probably just a meteoroid that entered Earth's atmosphere and got burnt up...

I wonder what the bigwigs at RSAF HQ are thinking/doing now...

This guy is trying to act smart... people say it's a meteoroid or simply "shooting star" in layman term... but he called it a comet without knowing the facts.... Comets will leave a trail much longer than that and it will last for quite a long time...Originally posted by Marco_Simone:SINGAPORE: A bright light across the sky took many Singaporeans by surprise on Sunday evening.
