1. Prof Mike Baillie, QUB, has sent me this, and asked if there were any
other reports:
"Terry, my assistant here in Belfast, Mr David Brown, reports that on
Saturday night last, 6th Sept, about 9/9.30 pm, just south of Belfast, he saw a
large bright meteor tracking approx SE to NW accompanied by an audible low
volume hiss. This is the first time I’ve come across a local report of what would
have to be an electrophonic effect. I was wondering if anyone else had
seen/heard anything on Saturday night, perhaps you could enquire. Best regards
Mike"

2. John McConnell has just reported a bright fireball, about mag -7 or -8,
seen from Maghaberry, Co Antrim, at 21.35 BST, tonight (8 Sep). It travelled
from Andromeda through Cassiopeia down towards the North horizon. Did anyone else
see it?
