Blue/orange tinted bright fireball shooting across sky over West London, heading South to North before burning up.

Sat outside in my garden, a very bright light in the sky caught my eye. I looked up to see a very very bright blue tinged fireball (at a slow pace compared to a shooting star) shooting across the sky, its short tail tinted orange heading south to north. Its main body was around five times the sizes of the brightest star. I watched its full manouvre, my friend caught sight of it as it passed over her head from behind her. We both then witnessed it disappear, apparently burning up into two/three pieces. It was completely silent, and travelled at a constant height.



NUFORC Note:

Report appears to be consistent with a typical dramatic meteor. PD
