Man in 'meteor' sighting over town
Shropshire Star (United Kingdom)
September 16, 2005 

A north Shropshire man has told of his amazement at seeing a "massive
glowing object moving through the sky".

Steve Powell, 49, who lives near Prees Green, saw what he believes was a
huge meteor last night at around 11.45pm.

He described the object as a big orange ball, about the size of a full
moon.

Mr Powell is now wondering if anyone else saw the phenomenon, which he
believes was a meteor crashing to earth.

He said: "It looked like a UFO to start with and didn't seem to be
moving, but it obviously was and had a bit of a trail."
