v.bright fireball...
..seen ~mag -7 on Tuesday 2006 July 18 at ~23BST [2200UT] from Worcester Park SW London tracking north from SE - NE some 20 degrees above the horizon through Aquarius and slowly dipping in Pegasus. Head was coloured bright green with 2 degree tail coloured orange. This 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. http://www.klaas-jobse.net/cyclops/A...ostkapelle.htm -- David Entwistle |

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).

I saw a very bright meteor at 22.53 UT heading SE to NE through the square of Pegasus on July 18th. It split up into several pieces at the end of its path. Looking at Norton's, I would say this happened somewhere around the Pegasus/Pisces border. This was from central Essex. Nytecam 51N 0.1W Dave Daniels -- ANTISPAM: Apologies for the mangled address.

The name is correct but replace 127.0.0.1 with ormail.co.uk At University of London Observatory, UCL, I took a phone call yesterday from people in Maidenhead (Berks) who asked for help identifying a bright object at about 2355 BST (same time as other reports). They had been outside on their patio trying to stay cool. Looking towards London, they saw a bright greenish light with a short trail moving quickly from SE to NE. Estimated elevation was 30 degrees (by a pilot, familiar with estimating angles and bearings). So this was widely seen. -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove "pants" spamblock to send e-mail) |

(See details in my other osting). -9 mag is about as bright as first quarter Moon, isn't it? -- Mike Dworetsky (Remove "pants" spamblock to send e-mail) |

I had gone into the garden about 1055pm BST during the Bond movie break but was out again an hour later and confused the two occasions. Sorry about that. Must keep notes ;-) Nytecam |
