| Observer | |

| Name | Steven W |
| Experience Level | 4/5 |
| Remarks | I had anticipated this meteor sighting thanks to a report on Twittter a few hours previously (https://twitter.com/planet4589/status/1624901130609205248?t=ByXIpHoG18BJOYG_oDg4Sg&s=08). The video was taken indoors looking through glass. I regret that I did not anticiapte such a brilliant fireball and therefore I did not go outside to watch the event, hence I cannot confirm if the sound on the video was due to the meteor (but I suspect it was). |

| Remarks | Video of SAR 2667 captured on my mobile phone looking south from Uckfield (50.9664° N, 0.0959° E) at 3am GMT on Monday 13th February. The fireball momentarily lit up the southern sky, silhouetting nearby trees and buildings. The meteor was moving in a south-easterly direction, and the fireball occurred at about 30 degrees altitude from my location, followed by fragmentation. |
