Observer
Name Mike A
Experience Level 5/5
Remarks The meteor produced two flashes as it passed but no final flash or explosion I run Galloway Astronomy Center in Scotland UK. Our skies are free of light pollution. From the images seen there were two other fireballs which look very similar to mine one earlier in Germany and a second in Scotland more southerly (the much publicised Lock Ness image)
