Can anyone provide furtherinformation on a particular bright Leonid,
the persistent train of which was filmed from Chippenham,Wiltshire, UK,
by Sandy Osborough on November 17, 1998, at around 01:40±10m UT?

The bright fireball appeared almost above Chippenham, where it was seen
moving from 70 to
79 degree altitude towards the north-east.  The fireball appeared outside
the field of view
and a bright flash of scattered light was recorded by the intensified camera.

I would like to know if there are other images in existence of this meteor,
and if it was observed by visual observers.
