Fireball tonight

[rsamuel]

Anyone else catch this? Driving home tonight, about 18:15 (and just past the Mullard Radio Astronomy Observatory, as it happens!) I saw a bright yellowish streak through the hazy cloud which began to fade, and then suddenly brightened before disappearing in a greenish flash about 10 degrees to the south of Venus. I'd hazard a guess it was about mag -8 by comaprison with Venus. Nice!

Hi Bob,

It was picked up by an allsky camera in the Isle of Wight:

and in Hertfordshire (low to the SW):

I've heard another visual report from near Aylesbury, a blue/white object with a yellow trail.

Sadly didn't see it myself.

Ah, excellent Dave, thank you! I'm glad I wasn't imagining it

Cheers,

Bob
