hi, Yes i also saw it at about the same time. As i was getting ready for
work i looked out of the window and saw it travelling roughly east to west.
it was very bright and a yellow/reddish colour and trail. it was visible
for a bout a minute before it went behind the south downs. i am in
Eastbourne in sussex so it was clearly visible for a large part of uk. [reply]
