Could this dashcam video explain 'explosion' seen over The Wrekin?
A dashcam video has emerged of what looks like a fireball over the skies of Shropshire.
The video, sent to the Shropshire Star, shows a streak of light in the sky before it explodes and comes after eyewitness Martin Jones making contact and wondering what he had seen on Monday morning.
The short clip has been sent to the Star by a driver who did not wish to be named. He was driving in Huffley Lane, Broad Oak, heading towards the roundabout with the A5124/A528 at the same time as Mr Jones was out, just before dawn.
The driver said: "It’s the first time I’ve seen anything like it so I felt rather excited.
"It certainly made a boring drive into work more interesting."
The Shropshire Star has also been contacted by others who saw the same thing, including an eyewitness from Wolverhampton.
They said: "Just seen the article that you wrote today about the explosion seen over the Wrekin this morning.
"I live in Wolverhampton and I saw something in the sky at around 6.10am what looked like a comet as I could see the light and the trailing take but only saw it for a split second, I was driving at the time so wouldn't have had the chance to try and capture an image of it."
