People are ecstatic after seeing a “beautiful, bright green” fireball.

Hundreds of people have reported seeing a “bright green” fireball in the night sky throughout England.

The enormous fireball was seen above the UK at 23:39 BST on Wednesday, according to the UK Network Fireball Alliance (UKFA), and some observers heard a sonic boom.

Sightings in Stockport, Southampton, London, Wigan, Manchester, Birmingham, Devon, Cornwall, Plymouth, Wales, and Somerset were reported on social media.

The UKFA is requesting that any pictures or video recordings be reported to them.

“Last night around 00:39 UT 15 UKMON cameras picked up a very huge meteor occurrence that we term a fireball, [a] extremely brilliant meteor entering Earth’s atmosphere above Somerset,” stated Richard Kacerek, founder of UK Meteor Network (UKMON).

“Visually, it was rather amazing, with a green colour [and] other colours usually referring to the meteoroid’s composition,” he continued.

At 23:39 BST, the UK Fireball Network captured this image of a fireball above the Bristol Channel.

“So I’m in Devon near Dorset and it went over us North towards Somerset and then I heard an explosion about a minute later,” Twitter user Wolfy claimed. “I have never seen anything that large in my life!”

It lighted up the entire sky before breaking up into tiny bits, but it was massive. They continued, “Lit up the night sky blue, then broke up into an orange colour.”

Simon E, a Somerset-based Twitter user, reported seeing a “streak of light in the sky.”
