On 12 April near Mansfield my son saw what sounds like a meteorite, possibly before 9.00 pm. 'I saw something big and blue with white in the middle speeding towards the Earth at a ridiculous speed. I was still recovering and processing what had just happened when I heard a distant resounding rumble/boom. It was amazing! If you read anything about it could you tell me.'
Did anyone else see anything like this on that night? Does it sound like a meteorite? Would the noise be the impact or the sound barrier? I'd be glad of any suggestions. Thanks.
