Hi folks, 

 

Yesterday (February 11)  there was a very bright event above the Netherlands and Belgium at 20h55 UT. A fireball, estimated at magnitude -10 (final flare) crossed the skies in the north-western direction. Especially the bright terminal flash should have been very impressive for all observers! Duration of the event: around 5 seconds. 

 

Klaas Jobse captured this event with the EN 97 - all sky from Oostkapelle (Netherlands). 

 

I suppose there should be more observations from the UK? 

 

Kind regards
