Fireballs, Jan/Feb 2006 Print E-mail

2006 January 11 2239 UT 

Three reports, from Oxford, Woking (Surrey), and a group of Liverpool AS members at the Pex Hill Observatory near Widnes, Cheshire. No clear indication of magnitude, but all witnesses describe the fireball as blue-green, and fragmenting into three-four pieces in the northern sky. Probably over the northern end of the Irish Sea. 

2006 January 21 2100 UT 

A bright fireball seen due south (over the English Channel) from Salcombe, Devon, travelling east-west. Also seen from the Forest of Dean (Glos.) and from Swansea, where it was estimated at about magnitude -6. A green object travelling slowly, visible for around five seconds and leaving a long white ‘smoke trail’. 

2006 February 16 0025 UT 

Seen in Stockport and Cleveland, a magnitude -6 to -10 blue fragmenting fireball, probably over the North Sea.
