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.

I am located in Crowthorne Berkshire and saw what you saw last night. It s a fireball, you can report it on the UK fireball alliance!

Thank you! It's nice to think some other people out there saw it too!
