Real ones , not the Vic n Bob one
Just brought the car down the drive at 7.30 in Redcar. Realised I was missing a glove so unlike me was searching the car for it for a min before I got out. If I had not have done that would have missed it. Headed to my back door which has a low kitchen roof and there is was , travelling speedily to Errington Woods (S) no more than 400 m above in the Sky, absolute bright white like magnesium , but with a green tinge around the edge , going fast, about the appearance size of a handball , straight as a die like a bullet trajectory, but then it died in brightness gently and the light went out long before it would have touched down. I expect it was a meteorite fragment that broke up higher up
Only the 2nd nearfield object I've seen in about 25 years of being interested in astronomy things. Yes I have sat out and seen many meteor showers but those are far far away. Is this a sign of sixth place ?
