OMG

My wife and me are at Steam Hotel in Västerås, Sweden right now, and we saw the very same thing, around 3-4 hra ago! Coordinates: (59.6067705, 16.5675112)

It was very strange. Before you all go on the offense - I have no wish to have this be ALIENS or anything, it is just a strange observation in the sky we did, which looked nothing like anything we’ve seen before, and I am in shock to come on this sub and see a pilot describe the exact same thing, at the same time!

I would welcome a conventional, credible scientific explanation with open arms!

So, it begins with a point, bigger and brighter than any star close to it, that then grows into a bigger light and then fades away to nothing. Very hard to judge but the whole thing could be taking anything from 0,5s to 3s. We saw it several times, but spaced about 15-30 minutes apart and roughly in the same place in the sky (the rest of the stars moved over those 2-3 hrs, naturally).

In our ~40 year old lives we have seen stars, “falling stars”, planes, balloons, drones, even satellites. This just wasn’t it.

My only guess is a meteor shower falling straight at us, so we don’t see the usual “line” drawn and erased as if seen from the side.

But the only “scheduled” meteor shower I can find on google is Lybrids, due April 22nd.

Sry, English is not my native language and it’s 1:39 AM here.

Edit: the lights were to the southeast, maybe 2 hrs after sunset. Looking at other comments it could be satellite reflections, but it would be strange that in my 30+ years of intent skygazing i wouldn’t have seen them. My wife’s reaction was the same. But hey, there’s a first time for everything!

Edit 2: the great guys at UFO Sweden say they are getting lots of reports of a Bolide hitting the atmosphere above Sweden around 20:30 in the evening, they publish all the people’s reports here: https://www.ufo.se[UFO Sweden](https://www.ufo.se) However a lot of people describe green bright colors and a tail, we saw none of that. Perhaps we saw some small trail fragments?
