- Witnesses reported similar sightings from West London neighborhoods and as far as Brighton and Grantham on Tuesday evening.
- Reporters and observers described the object as a likely sporadic meteor, a single random event not associated with a named shower.
- The Met Office and Royal Observatory Greenwich were contacted for verification, but no formal identification has been issued.
- Experts say the Draconids are due to peak on Wednesday around 8pm, though near-full moonlight may reduce visibility and the fireball is viewed as a separate occurrence.
