Reports Report 2552k (Event 2552-2015)

Observer
Name Ned G
Experience Level 4/5
Remarks I have looked on twitter and found people from Manchester, North Warrington and Belfast who saw this. There is also someone who saw one in Argentina but i suspect it was a separate event. NASA had announced that there was a1 mile asteroid passing earth today so i wonder if it is a fragment of this. After I saw it i moved my partner away from the window in case there was a shockwave. It was so bright and amazing! There was no shock wave...
