According to the Daily Mail, the dazzling blue ball of fire that burned in the sky over southwest England last month has just been confirmed by the kingdom's leading meteor observation network to be a shiny, older-than-Earth meteorite, iridescent and dark in color. Masses of people in South Wales, Hertfordshire and West Sussex have observed the phenomenon.

"Preliminary analysis from UKMON data shows that the height of the sphere is about 30km above the ground, velocity is 6.9km/s. That's interesting," UKMON founder Richard Kacerek told the Mail. Online.

UKMON believes that with the above parameters, the blue fireball is likely to have landed on the ground rather than burn out completely, but they may also need scuba gear as calculations suggest it has fallen into the channel. Bristol.

According to UKFall, this blue fireball is a meteorite. They forecast it would fall on the town of Shrewsbury (Shropshire county).
