Saw a really cool & unusual neon green colour fireball @ 10:42pm going N - NE entering my fov @ 30 deg.
Anybody else catch it?

nope, did it leave a persistant trail behind it ?

No but it was amazingly bright.
Didn't hear or see anything about it today. Oh well. Nice to see all the same.

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)
