Scientific paper

News and reports reaching the SPA Meteor Section from 2001 March and April are given. March was a month of vague meteoric events in the UK, including a meteorite fall that wasn't on March 1 and possibly several bright fireballs on March 13-14, such interest perhaps engendered by the expected atmospheric re-entry of the Mir space station, which came down over the southern Pacific Ocean on March 23. A fireball seen from six sites across southern England happened at 20h40m UT on April 10-11. Moon-free conditions for the Lyrid maximum later in April allowed some useful coverage, but the peak could not be clearly defined on April 21-22. The radio results loosely favoured a maximum between 7h-10h UT on April 22, centered around 8h30m+-1h UT (lambda(eq. J2000.0)=32.2-32.33 deg and 32.26+-0.04 deg respectively), though unusual radio peaks were also found in some datasets on April 20 and 21, but with little consensus in timing between observers on these earlier dates.
