A bright fireball streaked across the sky over London at around 18:36 UTC on February 26, with more than 131 people reporting sightings. Observations came from \u00cele-de-France, Bretagne, Centre-Val de Loire, England, Hauts-de-France, Normandie, and Wales.<\/p>\n
\u201cPurely unexpected, and now trying to recall it retrospectively about 40 minutes later,\u201d said Rachael from England. \u201cIt essentially passed between Sirius and the bottom left-hand corner of Orion, if that makes sense. Heading southwest,\u201d she reported, adding that the fireball had an orange hue.<\/p>\n
Another observer from England reported that the object broke apart in the sky as it streaked across with a yellow hue. \u201cSmaller parts burned brightly after breaking up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Faith G. from Southwick, England, described the fireball as showing hues of orange, yellow, and white. \u201cIt fizzled out into small sparks, which then disappeared,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Ellie from England said the object was a bright white lozenge with orange sparks coming out of it.<\/p>\n
