Observer
Name David M
Experience Level 2/5
Remarks It disappeared behind a cloud for a fraction of a second then reappeared before finally disappearing behind houses along the road in front of the bus I was driving. It would probably have been recorded by a forward facing video camera on the bus. As I was driving due east the sky was already getting brighter due to the sun approaching the horizon. The meteor appeared to maintain its size and tail length throughout its decent the meteor and tail was white with some orange on trailing edges of the tail.
