Kind of, the impact was 23:12:35 to be exact. Once again not the best footage but you can see the glow on impact. I was very unlucky not to get better pics as I had planned to image that night westwards but had to abandon and shut up shop about an hour earlier because my newly off grid power didn't fully replenish my batteries from the previous days usage.

Remarkable amount of light from something so small landing in the sea. The reports term was “ fish squisher” . That is a new one.

Always in the most critical moment interruptions seem to occur. Thanks and well done anyway.

'Fish Squisher', I like that. Yes it was pretty bright for a little rock. Shame my camera's frame rate isn't fast enough to pick up it's approach. I'm planning to get a new sky camera which should give better views. I have too many other DIY projects going on at the moment so that'll have to wait. First priority is to get a bigger panel and battery for the off grid system so that I don't run low again during the winter months.
