This one seems to have a good chance of making landfall if it does drop anything....Northern UK..fingers crossed for a report of something unusual on the ground.

Excellent collation and analysis from UKMON, although I suspect the calculated ground track stops too early due to the fireball passing behind terrain:

There is now also a
report from UTV.
The first still image clearly shows airplane navigation lights, but does anyone recognize the meteorite described as having
split in two after hitting the roof of a cottage in America
