    At ~5:55 a.m. BST (~04:55GMT) on the morning of Sunday 6th October an object 
    was seen burning up in the atmosphere on a north-south trajectory over 
    central Britain (53N 0.75W). It is described as being a very bright object 
    passing through the atmosphere at about 3* the visual speed of a commercial 
    aircraft.
    
    It is being reported as a metoer/bolide, but the aparant speed seems too low 
    for that, were there any deorbits expected that would agree with the 
    observation??
    
    Thanks
    
    Dan Andrews (51.99N 0.75W)
