Observer

Experience Level2/5
RemarksI was driving my car at the time.From Belfast towards Magherafelt on the new motorway. The fireball I first saw in my drivers side review mirror, I thought at first it was a large motorbike light speeding coming onto the new motorway, but instead it went over my car my daughter and I could clearly see it to above us,to the front and left of the car. There was another car behind us I am sure saw it as the shock of it has us both swerving our cars. The fire ball just dissapeared then. It didn’t get smaller it just like disappeared! It was so low in the sky, and it looked like a big ball of burning lava, like several times bigger than a football. I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. It was beautiful too! I told everyone about it when I got home. I am reporting this now because I saw the article on the BBC news about requesting footage for the one on Wednesday in Wales. I wouldn’t have known you existed otherwise. I would be happy to chat to anyone to better explain the trajectory as I have it ingrained in my memory and I found I was unable to use your website tools on an ipad.
