Usually fireballs of this type give off a green hue, but the one that was sighted over London was orange, ans then turned to white. If you happened to see this fireball, feel free to leave a comment about what you saw, where it traveled, etc. thanks!

According to a London Free Press report, a meteor streaked across the skies of London on the evening of February 20th. The fireball it created lit up the skies for several seconds. There was a witness who saw the meteor for as long as five seconds as it moved across the sky. Dave McCarter, president of the Royal Astronomical Society said that the meteor was probably about the size of a peanut.

I live in South Africa city of Durban and saw three star like objects move from east to west at about 7pm on evening 20 Februay. Could this be meteors? sibbyr@ivs-int.com
I saw this fireball. I live in Grays Essex it was just before 11pm Sat 20 Feb.
If they appeared close together in a a pair, or three as a triangular shape, then they likely were US Navy NOSS satellites. They'll look like three dots moving across the sky. These have been turning up recently as reports, so I bet the navy put one another one up recently.
