Meteorite over South east London, 16th May 2022

Anyone else see this at about 9.50pm? I was driving on Bob Dunn way, edge of Dartford, approaching the roundabout near the Thames recycle centre and saw what could have been mistaken for a fire work burning green at a low angle but very high. Would have been heading north westwards. Hard to tell how far away it was and how high. Considering the angle i was at to it, it could have been over Bexleyheath, Bromley, Carshalton or Portsmouth. Was out in a second.

    Lots of mentions of a meteorite on Twitter this evening. Some sightings in London, some as far as Oxford and even Bristol. All around the same time 9.45 to 9.50

    Bright green, gone in seconds. All as your post swords

    The chances of anything coming from Mars are a million to one against.

    Yes, I saw the very same thing whilst in Sidcup last night. A fantastic sight. Does the light green colour define what the meteorite was made of?

    Light green is the colour (some) iron ions burn, and iron content isn't exactly news in a meteorite

    Just met an Austrian Palarse supporter in Italy. He said he likes them because of the atmosphere.
