Hello Dave, Dirk, Rob, and List,
"this morning at 4:20 or 4:25AM, ... slow moving meteor ... came out of
the western sky and headed south east. It came in very low in the sky with
sparks trailing ... a very bright flash that lit up the sky and it looked like the
front or bottom blew out as it fragmented."
I wonder if that may have been a "sizable", fragmenting Taurid (debris from
Comet 2P/Encke). Taurids are relatively slow but sometimes blaze quite brightly!
Cheers,
Bernd
