I can't believe what I just saw - less than 15 minutes ago I saw an ice blue luminescent meteor against a clear blue sky flying low over Tunbridge Wells and within a couple of seconds or so of me seeing it, it burnt out as it was losing height.
It appeared to be really low in the sky, lower than the jets that fly over here, but that could be deceptive so I can't say for sure how low it was, but if it was as low as it seemed when it burnt out then it must have landed pretty close to Tunbridge Wells or slightly to the east as it was flying in a more or less easterly direction but it was losing height quite quickly.
The color and intensity of the luminescence was the most striking thing, Against a bright blue sky it was extremely clear and easily visible with the naked eye as a bright ice blue.
I've seen meteors at night but they never looked bright ice blue in color and I never expected to see one in broad daylight, it was incredibly beautiful.
I just rang the Courier (newspaper) to ask if they had any other reports but they're not open yet.
The time of sighting must have been about 10 past eight this morning UK time friday 19 november.
There are a lot of jets that fly low over here on their approach to London Gatwick and someone on one of those must have seen it too.
Thanks guys, I just had to record it somewhere.
Wow! Ice Blue Luminescent Meteor
