‘Fire in the Sky’ over Wrexham as Meteorite is Spotted

Several followers of our @wrexham twitter account got in touch around 9.45pm on Saturday night reporting a bright light, or fireballs in the sky, and one person reporting speculation of a plane on fire.

It turns out that a very very bright meteorite was spotted entering the earths atmosphere, visible to large parts of the UK, however apparently the clearest in the north west / north wales area.

This amateur video is of the meteorite as filmed from the north of england, but is the same one as spotted in Wrexham and the surrounding area.

Did you spot the meteorite? Where were you and what did you think it was? Let us know below…
