Bolide Meteor over Hout Bay, Cape Town, South Africa 11:00 pm 23AUG2011

11 o'clock last night 23 August 2011, 
My neighbour and I saw, what can only be described as a bright ball of light, with a very smooth 
hill called Mount Rhodes at the northern end of Hout Bay, in Cape Town South Africa. We only saw a 2 to 3 seconds of it before brilliant blue tail shooting across the sky at a very low altitude. It seemed to have just vanished as it headed towards a little it disappeared.
Apologies for the quality of the image I through together, but its the closest I could get to represent what we saw.
Kind Regards, Victor Rogowski   Thank you Victor!  I appreciate the artwork!
