Although I didn’t get to witness this, for myself.I believe this, "Fire Ball" for want of a better word. Was spectacular.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17249423

Paul,Yes it looks as if it was a spectacular event. There is no sign of it on my sky video camera but I’m in the southeast, the camera points south and the bolide track looks like it was over Scotland and northern England.If BAA members saw this, or know anyone who saw it, please send reports to the Meteor Section. Please include, at least, location, estimated direction of the start and end of the trail and the time. Lots of the reports on the BAA website aren’t much use since they don’t contain any of these details.Nick.

That should have said "BBC website" not "BAA website"! Our reports are always useful!!

Wow! Spectacular indeed. Like most people, I missed it myself. Does anyone know if the Meteor Section has had any reports? Would be interested to hear if we know any more..
