(meteorobs) Fireball sighting southern UK 16 - 17th July 2005?

[Koen Miskotte]

Hello,
>From Belgium Bruno Nolf saw a big fireball on 16 july at 20:19 UT. It moved 
from a height of 20 degrees in a west-southwest direction to a height of 
aprox. 5 degrees. Magnitude estimated at -8 (!). During a short time a 
"smoke trail" was visible. No sounds heared. Observation done from Otegem, 
Belgium.
I got this message throught VVS list, a list for Belgium and Dutch amateur 
astronomers.
Regards,
Koen
