| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | I must have been lucky enough to spot this just as it entered the atmosphere till it disappeared behind houses and obviously burnt up in a big glow. It was the third I've seen from my back garden, 2nd since last autumn but this was very bright with vivid colours, I did expect a large explosion or boom but heard nothing. |
