writes Reported by my daughter this evening - approx 6pm going roughly E-W. Did anyone else see it? There was a fireball, reported by the BBC, seen across Scotland on the previous morning . http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-11757146 Quite a number of the comments posted against that report don't relate to the morning fireball, but rather to one seen the following evening. This may have been the same event your daughter saw. The Society for Popular Astronomy (SPA) meteor section have also received a couple of reports from the evening fireball. If your daughter, or anyone else who saw a fireball, can manage to put a report together, we'd very much appreciate it. See the following page for guidance: http://www.popastro.com/sections/meteor/fireball.htm Anyone else who spotted this fireball, or any others - meteors of magnitude -3 or brighter - from the British Isles or nearby is welcome to send a full report to the SPA Meteor Section as soon as possible. The minimum details we need from you a 1) Exactly where you were (name of the nearest town or large village and county if in Britain, or your geographic latitude and longitude if elsewhere in the world); 2) The date and timing of the event; and 3) Where the fireball started and ended in the sky, as accurately as possible, or where the first and last points you could see of the trail were if you didn't see the whole flight. Updates will appear he http://www.popastro.com/sections/meteor/fireball_sightings.htm Best wishes, -- David Entwistle |
