Hi you all,

Anyone seen something like a bollide/fireball going across Orion's Belt 
last night at around 11 pm? See email below.

Greetings,



Maybe you can enlighten me; Last night, 25 January, at around 23h00, I
stepped out for a breath of fresh air and saw a red comet shaped streak
across Orion's belt. It seemed very close, almost aeroplane height, and had
a very long tail. It shot across the sky shooting star style. What could
this have been and did anyone else happen to be looking at the sky at
precisely that moment?



Regards, Annette.
