Midnight fireball

Public fireball reports started flowing in just a few minutes after midnight about a very large fireball spotted just 5 seconds before midnight

As usual we sent an echo though our network to see if any of our cameras detected the event and we found a match. As it happens you are waiting for a bus and two come along. There was a separate fireball event at around 7:12AM but this would be too bright for our cameras.

Church Chrookham station

Peter Campbell-Burns got just a glimpse of the fireball from his Church Crookham station.

Wilcot station

Richard Fleet recorded this one from his Wilcot SW camera and you can see the complete saturation of the camera chip.

Richard Bassom has also captured it on his camera.
