"Fireball" spotted over Worcester

6:04pm Wednesday 12th November 2008


A "FIREBALL" was spotted over Worcester this evening.

Joseph Smith, of Beaconhill Drive, St John's, had stepped outside for a cigarette at about 5.30pm when he saw a large ball of orange.

"It was the size of the moon," he said. "I've never seen anything like it. It looked like a fireball."

Mr Smith said the unidentified object looked to be over the racecourse direction.

Don't tell me - it was George Cowley in full-flight, delivering another letter!

He's a right fireball!

Or it could be red spots in the eyes due to lack of oxygen in the brain.....due to smoking....it would make a great advert for giving up smoking......"Mr Smith sees fireball or was it due to his smoking....."

LOL

not totally uncommon but always spectacular.. If you see one there might be another. Most nights you can see shooting stars, if you have a little patience, but fireballs are a treat.
