A striking green fireball was observed blazing over parts of the UK, captivating skywatchers in Scotland, Northern England, and Northern Ireland. Eyewitnesses say it glowed brilliantly for nearly 20 seconds before breaking apart mid-air, leaving behind a trail of glowing fragments.

 

 

The unusual green hue is likely caused by vaporising metals such as magnesium in the meteoroid as it entered Earth’s atmosphere.

 

Observers across multiple counties submitted videos and photos, which are now being used to help triangulate its trajectory. Amateur astronomy networks and scientific groups are combing through submitted footage and sky-monitoring data to reconstruct its path. The fragmentation suggests that pieces may have reached lower altitudes, but no meteorite recoveries have been confirmed yet. Searches are ongoing in areas beneath the estimated trajectory.

 

This fireball’s long duration and vivid hue make it stand out among typical UK meteor sightings. While spectacular, phenomena like this are valuable scientifically—fragments, if recovered, could shed light on the composition of the parent space rock. Meanwhile, experts encourage people to review dash-cam footage, security cameras, and any night-sky images they’ve captured to see if they caught more of the event.

 

 

 

Key Takeaways:

 

A bright green fireball streaked across UK skies for almost 20 seconds before fragmenting mid-air.

 

The green glow likely results from vaporised metals like magnesium in the meteoroid’s composition.

 

No meteorites confirmed yet; searches and trajectory analysis are underway in the estimated impact zone.

Meteoroid, or dying satellite?

It was a Russian drone. 

Just another psyop for the dummies.
