    extremely unlikely it's anything to do with the Lyrids--I'm fairly certain(99.999%) that no meteorite has EVER been associated with any meteor shower.
    and just being pedantic, although this bolide/fireball likely did produce some meteorites it is not actually a meteorite until something is found on the ground.

    very cool vid though appearing as it did just as the band finished that song ;-)

    0530 would be a normal time for flights from the US to be overhead enroute to Europe. And the spacing looks very like 2 aircraft about 3-4 miles, and 2-3000ft apart.

    Example taken over Dublin in Sept:

    Yeah, aircraft heading east into Europe from the US. That picture is Connolly station taken from around Busaras.
