h m s RA ° Dec
Apparent speed: 4

Magnitude Estimate: >5
Additional comments: Haze over the sky and a Gibbous Moon in the South with Light interference and cloud blocking out part of it-see it from my open bedroom window-I heard the dull Rumble sound overhead and see the bright fireball with sharp pointed tail appear through the clouds at about 45 degrees and disappear in the East about 10 Degrees over the North Sea within a few seconds. I can only guess because of its trajectory and it came from the Azimuth that this was a Northern Summer Cygnid Fireball.
