I guess this doesn't really belong on Rumours and News and will get moved but hopefully not before I have made contact with anyone who saw the spectacular and very unusual meteor over the west of France on Tuesday night. We were about 40nm South East Bordeaux and saw a bright object come out of the northern sky, it was trailing smoke and then produced a huge comet like tail that was illuminated by the full moon. It was a truly fantastic sight the like of which I have never seen before and I would like to get in touch with anyone else who saw it to confirm what we all saw. I would really like to contact the crew whom I spoke to who were near Korul at the time and also had a good view. Anyone heading North that night in the area would have seen it.
I am trying to contact several meteor observing organisations who may have some info. on it and if anyone who saw it wants to be appraised of any findings please PM me on pprune or email me at
[email protected] and I will let them know.
