I saw it from my window around 23.56 BST travelling slowly from E to W
in the S. It was amazing, travelling slowly for 20 seconds or so across
the sky.
By a long way the best meteorite I've ever seen, if not the best thing
I've ever seen. It was so striking I feared it was a plane or something
coming down, so relieved to find out it's not.

So yes, other people have seen it. But not me.
People are saying there’s a meteor shower overhead. They are wrong it’s
an alien invasion. I just caught an alien having a **** in my back
garden. He wasn’t happy when I threw a bucket of water over him, the
dirty bugger. All he had to do was ring the door bell, and he could have
used the toilet. LOL
