Too-Near-Earth Objects..
This is a few days old now so some of you may already have seen it, but it’s interesting none the less. Surveillance cameras capturing a moment that previously could only be witnessed by sheer good fortune – and I’ve been lucky once – the moment a meteorite burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere over Edmonton, Canada [adds and lights up the entire sky]. Fortunately, this time, it looks like it was a small one.. Apophis awaits.. It’s what the Pan-STARRS project was designed for.
More irrelevant self-indulgence…
I thought that was incredible.
I will never forget seeing something similar in the early eighties in the skies of Northern Ireland.
If I recall correctly it changed colour several times.
please no..
“irrelevant self-indulgence”
And your point is? ;op

Indeed.

Winter of ’81 [I believe] was the one I saw.
Actually, thinking about it further, it may have been in ’82.
It was more like 82 as far as I remember. At the time I had no idea what it was on account of the changing colours but have since learned that this phenomenon is not unusual.
There was good triangulation and quite a few bits recovered. No details on composition yet.
Thanks for the additional info, Joe.

Early 82 would be my best guess. I had been trying to calculate it based on the context of my sighting – Travelling home from performing in a school play in my first year at the Rainey.
