I remember seeing something similar to the main event in the very early 1980's when walking my future wife home through her local park one evening in SE London. It all happened so quickly we could hardly believe what we were seeing - it almost looked like a very large firework shooting across the sky but heading gradually downwards.

A few years later on the day we'd moved into this house, we spent a wonderful September evening sitting in the garden of our local pub watching a fantastic meteor shower courtsesy of a beautiful clear sky. I've never since seen one as beautiful.
Yes the Google Sky map is a excellent app Osem.
