Did anyone see a bright object in the sky yesterday at around 7pm? it looked like a shooting star but it was much slower and much brighter maybe a meteor or something. i wish it was a UFO though lol
i saw it coming from al waab traffic lights to qatar decoration roundabout, it was exactly infront of me and went down to god knows where.

I thought I had escaped them, but it seems not :O(

It's probably those Aliens who kidnapped me years ago and dropped me off in Doha ....

Yeah, I too saw it, but not yesterday but a couple of days back. The time was around 7:10 PM. It was brighter than stars, but seems to have been running.. I observed for appx 10 mins and after that depleted the brightness and eliminated itself.
