I was outside watching the geminids and noted 4 as described in my report as well as two white small 2mm sized fireball sparks and three fast thin streaking meteorites all from north to south and fireballs were nearly dead above and at a 45% angle to the east of me for the second one. Absolutely loved watching this but has now clouded over. Even got my mum up on the phone to go out to watch them from her house in Newport. She seen two of the sparkler ones. I have night sky app on my phone and watch the space station regularly and know when comets or meteoric events are happening
