Although I did not see the ground impact, my observation lasted till the object became obscured by a tree line approximately 500 metres away from my location. Time on my vehicle clock was checked for accuracy by against the Radio 4 pip signal at 0100 hrs and was around a second or 2 out. I believe the time of sighting to be 00:22:35 +/- 10 seconds (British Summer Time)
