Hi Karl,
You can sent the reports to me and I will sent them to a Dutch yahoo group 
called vuurbol (=fireball). There we stored all reports of fireballs so 
anyone can use the data.
There are some great pictures of the fireball:
http://twitgoo.com/42p74 Picture of Jan de Vries. When I first saw the 
fireball I looked like this. I was working on my PC and I have a window in 
northern direction. I did not see the entire meteor, I think I saw the last 
1 or 2 seconds.
http://www.fotoarena.nl/  : really great pictures of the fireball taken by 
Robert Mikaelyan!!!! This is exact the way I did see the fireball when it 
broke down in 5/6 pieces (of various magnitude between -3 and -5!) I'm 
observing meteors since 1978 and have seen hundreds of fireballs. This one 
is one of the best fireballs I ever have seen. I estimated the brightness 
between -10 or -12. One of these pictures made it to APOD (15 oktober, my 
birthday :-)).

Harbour)
Best wishes, Koen
