There were 2 meteors approx 3-4 mins apart. The first was very bright and had a fragmented tail. I called out to my husband who was taking astrology photographs, then as we sat staring upwards the second even bigger and brighter meteor flashed across ghe sky. It looked like something from a film falling to earth.
