Hi there,

Just wanted to let you know about a fantastic spectacle that we had here on
the South Coast of England on Saturday night (1st December, at about
10:30pm GMT). I have never seen such an amazing phenomona! Part of the sky
was filled with glowing embers racing towards the north eastern horizon. At
first I had thought that it was a satelite re-entering the atmosphere...but
a newspaper report spoke of a meteor (To view the article, go to
www.thisisbrightonandhove.codot uk and then click on the 'news' link and then
'local news')

I still haven't been able to find any pictures of it...I'm sure sombody
must have had a chance to get some images, even though it was all over
pretty quickly. I'll let you know if I find any!

Anyway, better go as I'm at work! Was nice to discover your site today too!

Kind regards
