Off topic but may be of astronomical interest, I spotted
a bright green meteor 'flare' complete with trail, low to
the southwest, well before nightfall yesterday evening
at 2050Z while driving along the M27 just west of
Rownhams Services (northwest of Southampton).
It would have been startlingly bright if seen after dark.

.... you and several thousands of others!
