Hi,

I have been told that a spectaluor meteor was seen over Central England
today.
I wonder if anyone has any more info.
Apologies for posting on this group, there must be a more specialised group
but I'm not aware of one.

Regards,

Pete Coventry



I was driving home from Norwich with my daughter. At first we thought it
was a firework - then realised the trail across the sky wasn't smoke at
all, but a meteor tail - it was incredible; a really bright flash at the
end too - it lit up the (unlit) A47.

The night before I was cycling after dark and saw another spectacular
one which broke into several pieces as it raced East to West.

I love living in the countryside
