Hi!
I'm in Estonia.
I saw a bright meteor-like object in the sky about 2:30(GMT+2) AM.
I didn't notice if it had a tail, because I got paralyzed for a second, but I remember it was glowing bright and it lit up the sky for a second.
The total time of observation was about 5-10 seconds.
Latvia May 22 (~2:30GMT)
Few hundred people in Latvia saw this thing too, there are recorded several emergency calls.
One of the largest news portal about this:

Riga, Latvia
Just seen INCREDIBLE BIG meteorite at 2:30 AM EEST, May 22 2011 (23:30 UTC/GMT, May 21), I was walking by Valmieras street (Riga, Latvia) from center. Very fast, looked like it is flying very close to the surface and going to hit the Plavnieki soon, but also absolute silent, so must be still far away. Usually they are comparable with size of stars in the sky, but this one looked more like Moon size. I'm shocked.
Latvia
We saw a meteor in night of May 22 in Latvia. By our time it was around 2:30 in the night (our time is London time +2 hours).

It seems I also saw it in Riga (Ilguciems) - I was at home and for few seconds there was bright light outside, as if something was moving fast not very high above horizont in direction from west to east.
We see in Riga, near Imanta, it looks realy cool, it was night 2.36 very dark and suddenly everuthinks was bright. and a burning ball of simply approaching the land burned, it was about 3sec
family and friends of mine we all saw a meteor here in Ontario Canada around 9-9:30pm our time. It was very large and orange, visibly on fire and we followed it across the sky for about 2-3 minutes before it disappeared. we noticed it as it was a long weekend where people were lighting fireworks. we were told it was a new kind but logically it was way too high and moving way to fast and horizontal. Very few we have asked had seen it there are hardly any reports of it at all.
