And even though it was both clearly seen and heard, the distance is often greater than one might think. Eric Stempels estimates that this bolide was at an altitude of 30 km (19 miles).<\/p>\n<p>However, the shallow angle made the bolide appear unusually clearly. \u201cYou can see meteors every night. But one this spectacular \u2014 you might see once every five years,\u201d said Stempels.<\/p>\n<p><!-- MOLONGUI AUTHORSHIP PLUGIN 5.1.0 --><br \/>\n<!-- https:\/\/www.molongui.com\/wordpress-plugin-post-authors --><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/watchers.news\/2025\/07\/02\/bright-daylight-fireball-explodes-over-aland-sweden\/?rand=772151\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A rare bright daylight fireball streaked across the skies of Sweden on July 1, 2025, producing a sonic boom over \u00c5land.
