Fireball - 2004 March 25 2204 UT |

Widely seen across the southern UK, despite conditions of patchy cloud at many locations. This event seems to have been below the usually-accepted fireball brightness, at about mag. -3, but was noteworthy for its widespread visibility a, slow trajectory and fragmentation, described by witnesses from locations spanning Essex, Worcs., Herts., West London and Devon.
Observer reports suggest a track heading southeastwards, probably over France and certainly well south of the British Isles. Stewart Moore in Essex, for example, saw the meteor heading from Gemini towards a point just east of Alphard in Hydra, low over the SSW horizon. |
