[Astronomy Ireland] meteor sighting
hello there....... My name is Mike Joyce .. .i live in sligo...and yesterday I noticed the meteor which passed over Sligo at approx 6.10pm ? I didnt check the time when i saw it...but it was around this time....... i would estimate that the meteor was flying in nthe trajectory of the black arrow on the attached jpg file...approx north north east or slightly north of north east.. when i noticed it it was approximately level with the car park in connaughton road....and about 10-15 seconds later it had moved approx another 1000 to 1200 meters.... (and its volume seemed to have reduced at this stage by 60-70% in size) it is hard to say exactly how high the meteor was flying ???? maybe 1200-1500 meters..... i hope this information is of use to you.... regards, Mike
