Emerald fireball lights up the UK sky over Lindisfarne
A bright emerald fireball lit up Lindisfarne’s night sky in northeast England as a small meteor—about 12 grams and traveling ~20,000 mph (32,000 km/h)—exploded in Earth’s atmosphere; it was witnessed by hundreds across the UK and parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany and captured on doorbell cameras, with the green hue likely from magnesium and nickel; no debris or sonic booms were reported, and NASA notes this ‘fireball season’ is common.
