[meteorite-list] FW: (meteorobs) Meteor report, possible fall, in Somerset ~1840utc 10th March

[mark ford]

Hi Jerry,

Sorry yes ... it was Taunton England UK. I forgot most of America was
named by Brits! ;)

After further investigation it seems to be a Newspaper (the Express)
getting the wrong end of the stick, it was just a meteor shower (as the
reports spread over two days), they also printed a picture of a crater
but we think it was a 'stock picture' and not a meteorite crater...




Best,
Mark Ford

Hi folks,

I just received an email from a police office at Bristol Airport
(below),
regarding sigtings of a possible meteor and fall near Taunton. My radio
obs
system recorded nothing significant, but other observers may have
witnessed
something. Please contact me if you have any reports.

Best regards,

Andy

Good evening.

I am the duty Police air observer based at Filton in Bristol.

At about 1845 hrs tonight (100306) a number of calls were received by
Devon
and Cornwall Police, Brixham,Portland and Solent Coastguards of possible
meteor
activity. Sightings being from Ivybridge to Dawlish.

My reason for contacting you is to confirm this activity as we had a
report
of something falling out of the sky at Bishops Lydeard near Taunton at
about
the same time.

Your live report shows a blip about 1838 hrs - could this be it.

Regards

Phil Scott
