Fireball From The Bull!!!

I was scanning the sky just there now with the naked eye. The sky is fantastic after heavy showers with the trans 10/10 and a rare pitch black sky background. During a 20 min period i observed 5 Taurid Meteors and at 00.02 local time i observed a tremendous green Taurid Fireball that shot across the sky from E to W that flared up to mag -7.0 and lit the clouds, sky and ground up a neon green colour and left behind a glowing green train that was visible for several seconds, just as this was happening i heard a loud sizzling sound that came from the event....incredible sight!!!!!

Also spotted the Gegenschein for the 3rd night in a row. If its clear with you know...go outside and watch!!

Wish i had seen that one! Nice one

I wish you had of been here to see it!
