A fireball lit up the UK sky on Wednesday night, with witnesses describing the cosmic display as "spectacular".
The fireball, which could have been a meteor, has been captured on a home-security camera and uploaded onto Twitter. Renos Christou, one of the witnesses, said that he has always been fascinated by space and felt very lucky to have seen something so rare and beautiful.
"It lit up the sky bright green as it burnt up in our atmosphere," he told the PA news agency. “I did wait for a second [display], hoping I would hear some sort of boom, as heard with larger ones around the world, but nothing.”
A second witness, identified as Stephen Wall, said the fireball was green with a red tail, and it was "very spectacular".
