Feel privileged to have been in the right place at the right time! Have seen many meteors over the years, but none as spectacular as this one. My 85 year old Mum saw it too.

Remarks
Fireball surrounded by an aura of "glitter". Small fragments. Became very intense in final moment, but wouldn't say it exploded. I was expecting to hear something, but no sound.
