Massive fireball/bolide in the SW at 2138h this evening, ‘passing through’ Orion, on the AllSkyCam. Did anyone see it if they were outside? It would have been spectacularly bright.

Hi Eric,

It wasn't recorded by my north-facing video meteor cameras in Leeds, although I had heavy cloud cover at that time. I've asked the NEMETODE team if anyone recorded it.

This IMO Fireball Event matches your observation

Clear skies,
