Fireball - 2004 September 24 0627 UT Print E-mail
In a bright sky just before sunrise, this brilliant white event was seen by numerous witnesses between Wigtownshire in SW Scotland and Devon, Oxfordshire and Essex in southern England. Some observers report a reddish tinge at the trailing edge, and fragmentation. The track appears to have been from Cumbria towards East Anglia or Kent. This event was briefly highlighted on a BBC programme covering near-Earth asteroid Toutatis a few days later.
