Default v.bright fireball...

No, but Klaas Jobse reported a -9 sporadic 2006-07-18 22:55 UT from EN97

which was also seen by many people in Belgium (and most likely also the
Netherlands).

SW London tracking north from SE - NE some 20 degrees above the

horizon through
Aquarius and slowly dipping in Pegasus. Head was

the brightest and most colourful meteor
I've seen for decades. Anyone

else see it?



Hello Maurice,

No, but Klass Jobse reported a -9 sporadic 2006-07-18 22:55 UT from EN97
Oostkapelle. The times indicate that this wasn't the same event, but
there's a similarity in direction of travel suggesting the two meteors
may be related by a common radiant.
