Meteor observation, 21:02 GMT, Johannesburg SA 13NOV2010
"My location is: 27•59'E 26•10'S. (Johannesburg SA)
At roughly 21:02 UT, I witnessed what appeared to be a bright orange elliptical ball moving horizontally across the horizon (not top to bottom) +- 12-20 degrees above ground. It was moving in a NNE direction of travel.  I was looking out East.  Could this have been related to the Serbian occurrence?" Tendo (contact info)- reported to LunarMeteorite*Hunter
