Initial Meteor Sighting Reports-
Just seen meteorite over Streetly, Sutton Coldfield, Uk.
Time just after 3am I think . I was in my garden and just saw a ball of light with a tail on it. It was white but I briefly saw the colour  Green and I think violet. It appeared to be very low Down . It a clear night and I had just been looking  Up at the stars. When I looked to go back inside I  Just saw it come out of nowhere and there was no  Noise. It went Behind 2 doors down house. I was  Afraid as I have not seen anything like this before. I  Saw for about 5 seconds I think but was just amazed
- Kim C.

I saw this! Around 3:06 or something, bright white / blue trail behind a ball of burning rock, I literally flintched and thought "oh man that's close! What if it hits down..." Heart was pounding. most spectacular thing I've ever seen. CN Jukka

Saw the same very bright white light falling from the sky it was huge! I didn't see a tail to it and it fell seemingly slower than a shooting star! It was over Peterborough and was magnificent! - Annie B.

Just saw a bright blue flash across the sky to large and fast to be anything man made in North West, England 3:10 AM do you think this could have been a meteor? - Michael Ramsden

(around 3am) On a night shift in a hotel in Northampton, I went out for a smoke and as soon as I light up my cigarette I saw a fast moving object with bright neon blue light flash through the sky, it was completely silent. It took me a while to work out what it was, which to my knowledge was a meteor traveling North over Northamptonshire. I felt a little frightened at first as I was unsure what I had seen, but afterwards I felt very privileged.- Larn mcginlay
