The director of the Hellenic National Meteorological Service (EMY), Theodoros Kolydas, explained that the mysterious morning glow observed by some in the Attic sky on early Monday was caused by a meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere.
A video captured by a camera mounted on a meteorological station in Acharnes shows a sudden flash of light that does not appear to originate from cloud formations.
Kolydas confirmed that the phenomenon was indeed a meteor, with its glow visible across central Greece.
“For an observer on Earth, meteors that enter the atmosphere in the early morning hours travel at higher speeds and are more difficult to spot, whereas those appearing in the early evening move more slowly,” he noted.
