Description
A Lyrid and some space junk are crossing tracks high in the sky, while the spring Milky Way is arching over a foggy pond in Switzerland.
While photographing the middle section, two bright spots appeared high in the sky. They moved on parallel tracks, quickly reached extreme brightness and then slowly faded, until we lost sight of them after about a minute. During this eerie sighting, a much faster Lyrid crossed the tracks of what most probably was space junk dying a firey death while plunging back into our atmosphere.
