Thanks for that, from were we saw it, it looked like it was heading straight at us and it was just above the hills nearby

Saw it from our living room, well Mrs W did, I had my back to the window at the time but even then was aware of very bright light.

We where out walking our dog and we saw it as well in Choulou, it looked to be a green colour and then it was gone it only lasted a couple of seconds.

"Cypriots in awe over flash in the sky
"Local experts not sure mystery fireball was a meteoroid, UFO claims also in the mix

"Local media reported on sightings of a fireball streaking across the sky over Cyprus, with experts ruling out a meteorite but not a meteoroid or even an unidentified flying object.

"According to the Cyprus Astronomy Organisation, a very bright fireball was sighted Tuesday night just after 10pm.

"The light was caught on video and appeared to be very brief, green and blue in colour. Estimated speed could have been 60 kilometres per second according to local experts..."
