| Remarks | i saw the train of meteors trailing roughly from North to North West. i initially estimated between 12-15 large fragments and maybe 2-3 smaller. they were glowing bright white and moving quite slowly. (not comparable to so called \"shooting stars\") the train was seen from inside an iluminated living room, through double glazed windows and combined would easily have shone as brightly as a full moon. the \"fireball\" was also seen by my son. he was outdoors at the time and reported it to be \"green\" with a long Orange tail. he was situated in HIll Top, West Bromwich. as it went from his view, it had began to break up. |
