Great ball of fire

I had a similar experience a few years ago. Coincidentally this was on Guy Fawkes night, and maybe around 8pm. Initially I thought it a firework, but the size of the object and the fact it traversed a broad arc of the sky, travelling, as far as I could see, fairly horizontally, convinced me almost immediately it had to be a very close, quite big meteor/ meteorite.
Thanks for the link, I will go look to see if anyone else saw my fireball too. I wish I could remember the year, but at least I have the rest of the date.
