ive only ever seen one in daylight. 1999 or 2000 i think..
love to see another.

cheers
I didnt know it was in the daylight? thats possible, the one i remember I thought was seen by a lot of people out specifically looking at Halleys comet at same time, so '86 seems right, maybe it was twilight? It was big news at the time, and made all the papers/news.
i did have some info on it once, cant find it now, probably on google/wiki though LOL its got a typical name like 'name of nearby town' fall? meteorite? Think museum has it? could be imagining that part tho

Seen 4 awesome daylight ones in two related pairs once, sun's disk was just coming over hills, so technically not full daylight, but sure seemed like full daytime, they looked amazing with sunlight lighting up great smoking trains, pretty rare sight just the same, I read that mornings the best time for daylight fireballs?
