Copenhagen. -- Luminous phenomena were observed Wednesday evening shortly before midnight, in Denmark and southern Sweden.
In Denmark, witnesses, particularly at the Copenhagen Airport and the Veerleese Air Base, claimed to have seen a luminous ball trailing a long tail and four to seven other smaller luminous balls.
According to experts, they could be meteors or pieces of an artificial satellite that disintegrated when entering the atmosphere.
