| Observer | |

| Name | Edwin Q |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I was in the passenger seat of a car at traffic lights facing north at the location given. I did not pick up the object until it entered my field of view at the top limit of the windscreen. My wife, who was driving, also saw it. I have seen many fireballs over the years and countless meteors (including the spectacular 1998 Leonids from Shropshire,UK, where I gave up counting at 200 after 2 hours). I haven't posted much lately but can be found at @EdwinQuail on Twitter.. |
