My meteor camera detected the presumed terminal flash, but on-going technical issues with my setup means I didn't record video of the event. My camera points SSE so I'd say this event was likely southwest ish of Nottingham.

I recon the ground track will be over Wales (mid or south) a square made up of Gloucester, Oxford, Winchester, Bristol, by looking at a simple triangulation of the reports so far. Impressive event though.

We're certainly in the firing line of late!

Brilliant capture Steve. All my cams got saturated by the flash, but I did get the approach on one cam and the fragment on another.

Been a few events of these bright outbursts recently, Scotland, Italy - maybe there's a rich seam of debris around ?

I'm in S. Cheshire and it was a long way South from me - but I caught the terminal blast on the AllSky cam:

There's an article about the fireball that was seen last Thursday 17 March here: https://britastro.org/node/7231

This shows the path of the meteor across south-west England triangulated from video observations of the meteor
