Yeah, and a mate of mine heard the sonic boom, too.  Winchcombe, the landing site of some meteorite fragments, is about 20 miles from here.  Looking at the trajectory, the meteor pretty much came over our house.  The mountain coming to Mohammed??  Not really, but pretty cool all the same!

Many thanks, 

Andy Lloyd

This article confirms that the carbonaceous chondrite indeed came from the collision debris field between Mars and Jupiter.

EXCERPT: "Footage of the bright streak captured by the public, and a camera network operated by the Natural History Museum’s UK Fireball Alliance, helped researchers calculate that the meteor had spent most of its orbit between Mars and Jupiter before it ploughed into Earth’s atmosphere."
