Reports Report 3666en (Event 3666-2025)

Observer
Name Sarah V
Experience Level 1/5
Remarks Limited information because I was driving northbound on the M6 at the time. I saw something come down into the field at the side of the motorway. At first I thought it was a massive firework but when I saw the article on the BBC News website this morning, I wondered if it was a fireball.
