Many report seeing a fireball light up the dark winter sky
A meteor blazed across the Danish sky on Monday evening, according to astrophysicist Tina Ibsen from the Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen.
People from all over the country have reported seeing a fireball streak through the sky at about 18:30.
"We have received many inquiries from people who saw a fireball," Ibsen told TV2.
"However, no-one has reported a bang or a sound, which indicates the meteor burnt up before it hit the Earth's surface."
Ibsen contends the phenomenon of a 'shooting star' is nothing unusual.
