Bright meteor seen

[Tomatobro 525]

From a site near Shrewsbury a very bright meteor was seen at 21:59 (30/07/2020) which left a smoke trail still visible after 35 minutes. It covered two thirds of the visible sky and its track was in the western horizon .

That sound spooky. War of the worlds stuff. Quite a sight I imagine.

And Muggins here was looking at a laptop screen instead of up at the critical moment.

Hello.
As this is my first post, I would like to welcome you all.

I also noticed this object. It was flying so slowly that I had time to tell the other person to look at it.
The object flew westward and disappeared shortly after it appeared. For a meteor, it was very spectacular.
The incident took place around 22-23 near Venlo (NL) (I don't remember the exact time). I didn't notice the smudge, although I admit that I was busy with other things.
