Meteor over North East
Stretchie and I saw it fill up our view out of the windscreen as we were driving north on the M6.
I have seen some sights, but this thing was massive. Anyone else see it? |

Re: Meteor over North East
Saw one over King's Lynn about 22:45ish could be about 10 minutes either side. It very bright, almost like a firework, but it's tail was definitely debris as opposed to propelling it. Then it appeared to break up.

Re: Meteor over North East
Yay! I saw it on the way back from Leeds, first one I've ever seen and it was awesome, breaking up as it came down. saw a green looking one later coming vertical from my perspective.

Re: Meteor over North East
Wish I'd seen it aswell but it annoys me how it's being reported as a meteorite or even a meterite shower,of which I've seen many. This wasn't a meteorite as such as it must have been much bigger to not burn up in a second or so, it was space junk. Still looked spectacular though.

Re: Meteor over North East
Sat in the pub last night With SV4ME and Christopher and watched it scud across the sky. Really impressive, even through drunken eyes.
