Is it just me or does this seem to be happening more and more frequently?

It would seem as if daytime fireballs are just as likely as nighttime fireballs or at least proportional the amount of time spent in daylight vs. night.
All fireballs are rare, but are daytime any more rare than those at night?

Yeah, sure, it was a "meteor," not a hotshot Eurofighter pilot living out his "Top Gun" fantasies.

I would hazard a guess and say there are just as many meteors during the day as during the night.(?)
Radical thoughts, I know.

“According to BBC, a specialist in aviation meteorology at the University of Oxford — Simon Proud — captured the meteor flying over the UK on a weather satellite.”
Damn, didn’t realize they sold rides on weather satellites.
Even so, they’re usually high enough to get drowned in radiation from the Van Allen Belts, so I’d probably skip the chance, even if I could afford it.

The headline says “four countries”, but this excerpt names for counties in England. Typo, I guess.
