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.

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.
