I have never seen anything like this before. I was actually awaiting a full red moon to appear on the horizon. I would be interested to know if anyone else saw this fireball. Clearly there were many other sightings elsewhere in the UK on this day and it was the publicity of the one in Gloucestershire (180 miles away) that brought me to this site
