Yesterday on Christmas Eve there was a huge meteor like fireball over Germany around 17:30 local time. Eye-witnesses reported that it left a huge tail and finally split in several parts. While peoples speculation includes a meteor, God, Santa and aliens, latest reports say that it most likely was the re-entry of the Soyuz booster that brought Expedition 30 up to the International Space Station a few days prior to Christmas Eve. Below are a few videos.
