Not quite sue if the date is correct here. He says he was finishing up. Maybe it's the same one. Not sure
From terry moseleys email:
12: Bright Fireball over Belfast, 23 May: I had just finished observing the moon last night and put my scope away. However as I was still looking out and checking cloud cover I saw a fireball race across the sky. It seemed to appear directly overhead and move in a south-easterly direction. I live in South Belfast and have a clear view over to the Castlereagh Hills I would estimate the size as being half to a third the size of the visible moon and just as bright. It covered my visible area of sky in a second or two, the fastest object I have ever witnessed. (Paul Meli)
