Guest671 (guest):meteor sight Netherlands Noord-Holland. 20 February around 21:05pm. Bright large fireball that fell apart in about 2-4 seconds. It was very excited to be part of it.

Thank you!


Update!
Just got news that there is one all-sky that did get it: station EN 95 Benningbroek in the northwest of the country operated by Jos Nijland captured it. It is low on the horizon there, not a real spectacular picture imo. Lots of brightness variation visible along the trail.
It is low south-southwest in Eridanus on the image, suggesting appearance over the Belgian coast/Northern French coast/Northern Channel area.
There really should be British, Belgian or French observations if it was clear there.

All I can say about it at the moment is that the Dutch all-sky camera's did not
capture it because of cloud cover on the active stations. While some parts of
the Netherlands were clear that night, several areas had cloud cover (it was
clouded here in Leiden for example). That is rather unfortunate.

I was driving at a quarter to nine approximatly, to Nunspeet and five minutes before this place i saw a huge fireball in the sky. At first i was shocked en than i saw the gigantic tail and thought "this must be a meteor". It fell into little pieces when it came in contact with the earth`s atmosphere. It was very spooky and at the same time very special to see.
