Estonia
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).
