Am I Losing it?

Recommended Posts

Am flying over St Lawrence seaway eastbound of CYMX at 41,000 ft. Just seen what looked like a satellite/meteorite re-entry directly ahead of aircraft at elevation of + 2 to +5 degrees. Three white irregular fireballs moving left to right, very fast, trailing about 5 - 8 degrees. Duration about 1.5 seconds +/-.

Does our scenery (P3Dv4.5) have these programmed in? Never seen anything like this before except in real life.

Or am I losing it?  😲

I haven't seen meteorites since the days of FSX, but then I don't fly much at night.  I'm glad to see they're still around.

I saw three meteors at dawn the other day when preparing to depart EGPL Benbecula in the Western Isles, Scotland (P3Dv4.5HF2).
