Default Meteor 22:51:45 BST

Noticeable object, presumed a meteor, seen northbound today at about
22:51:45 BST from near overhead for 30-40 degrees, shortly after ISS
became visible; lasted for about 1 - 1.5 seconds.

I had *NO* significant sight-line to the South of vertical - looking out
of window - but it must have been near-overhead for Maurice G.

It was well-lit when it appeared; probably a bit brighter than Mag 0,
maybe Mag 1, probably less than Jupiter though.

Because of the amount of other light about, etc., no stars were
noticeable to define the path better.
