On August 15, 2002 at 230350 UT a very bright meteor appeared above the western part of the Netherlands. The fireball, with an estimated magnitude of -8, and visible for about 4 seconds, was simultaneously photographed by three Dutch all-sky cameras operated by members of Dutch Meteor Society and the KNVWS Meteor Section, set up at Oostkapelle, Benningbroek and Hoogmade. Measurements of the three all-sky images and calculation of the trajectory indicated a low vanishing height of the fireball, slightly less than 40 kilometers, and a clear deceleration. The calculated heliocentric orbital elements show similarities with members of the iota-Aquarid shower, and correspond extremely well with the anti-helion ecliptical sporadic background.
