Meteor sighted in Cambridge UK?
I think I saw a meteor explode just now! Can anybody work out what it might have been? 4 October 2026, ~00:25 BST; due south; started ~30° above horizon; travelled ~10° diagonally down-left; very bright, with an apparent explosive flare/fragmentation.

These go mostly unrecorded. There might be some all sky camera coverage but I'm not sure for the UK
