Bolide, anyone?

We caught a really great Bolide at five to midnight French time, so an hour ahead of UK. It appeared in the Zenith and fragmented in the south a little to the west of Corvus. The fragments glowed red with a very bright set of green flashes around then as it flew apart. The colours were intense. I'd put this as joint best I've ever seen, the other being one which flashed red and bright blue during the break-up. Luckily all five people present saw it all. Anyone else see it?

No missed it, was probably keeping an eye on the PHD screen, just had some good views of Saturn though.

No, missed it too - I was outside at that time though; probably peering through the eyepiece at something. Just my luck!
