Nice fireball captured on video over eastern Ireland last night, with a secondary travelling alongside -

This one seems to have a good chance of making landfall if it does drop anything....Northern UK..fingers crossed for a report of something unusual on the ground.

Thanks for the heads up.

Here are some reports:

Excellent collation and analysis from UKMON, although I suspect the calculated ground track stops too early due to the fireball passing behind terrain:

There is now also a report from UTV.

The first still image clearly shows airplane navigation lights, but does anyone recognize the meteorite described as having split in two after hitting the roof of a cottage in America
