Dramatic moment massive green fireball streaks across the skies in UK

Wild footage shows a massive green fireball streaking across the UK Monday morning, prompting stunned witnesses to quip it was linked to the Artemis II mission.

Video captured by one resident showed a bright green glow, followed by two huge flashes in quick succession before the fireball burned out seconds later.

The cosmic phenomenon was spotted in several towns and cities, sparking a flurry of reaction online.

“See we go round the moon and now we have space rocks been thrown at us,” one Facebook user quipped, referring to the historic Artemis II mission.

“Probably a bit of the spacecraft they mislaid,” another joked.

“Could it be remnants of Artemis?” a third chimed in.

Other witnesses suggested the fireball was a rogue firework or low-flying aircraft.

“I saw that. It was bright green. It was massive. I thought it was a firework at first it seemed so close,” an onlooker said.

The ball of light was likely a meteor, and sightings have been reported across the US recently.

Last week, a fireball was seen blazing across several states along the East Coast, prompting hundreds of spectators to file meteor sightings reports.

In March, NASA confirmed a meteor sighting above Texas – and a meteorite, which splintered off a fireball, ended up smashing into a woman’s roof.
