| Remarks | Fireball in the sky, at first I thought it may be an aircraft on fire (close to London Gatwick Airport). Small specks of fireball broke away and only visible for a second. A slight bright white in the sky at the end, I don\'t know what a terminal flash looks like. The white light in the sky lasted only one or two seconds. |
