A brilliant fireball seen by several witnesses in Kent, with other sightings as far afield as Coventry, Burton on Trent and Cardiff, as well as the London area. The reports are consistent in describing a blue-green head trailing red ‘sparks’ Peter Foley at Maidstone, Kent, provided a series of sketches showing the fireball's fragmentation. From his perspective, the fireball - bright enough to fully illuminate the bedroom - was high in the south, ending at about 25 degrees above the horizon.
From the reported apparent positions, a rough trajectory starting over the North Sea east of Essex/Norfolk, ending above northern France seems likely for this object.
