| Experience Level | 1/5 |
| Remarks | I was lucky to witness this as I had a very early meeting so was up at 430am I have never seen one in my life time and im now 47 ,I checked local papers and also google to see if anyone else saw it but cant find any one who has . I have always loved the night sky ,it would be great if i could find a meteorite from this im guessing it was fairly near as I could hear it ..sounded just like a whooshing sound followed by a burning yellow /orange glow and then it broke into yellow fragments ..a larger front ball with maybe 2 or 3 smaller fragments behind it |
