Default Fireballs over UK?

Several fireballs over the UK have been reported within the past couple
of weeks. One was reported as ' very bright'.
Has anyone observed any of these? Details of observations would be
welcomed, please. Time [UT or BST] and observing location are important
as well as other details.

Thanks,

Impressive daylight one at 21.46 BST (deliberately looked at my watch) on
Friday 14 July (but just might have been a week earlier, 7 July)
High ground to the west of us so no direct sun viewable, also no extinction
seen again because of the high ground. Pure white, single glow falling about
20 degrees from vertical, W to E lateral component, relative to us about 300
degrees W from viewing position Hampshire, about 50:50N ,01:15W

Can't remember which Friday night? Must have had too much rocket fuel.
