Lucky you tinks! apparently it wasn't one anyone knew about beforehand so you were extra lucky! Wish we'd seen it - did you see it in our neck of the woods Wendilla?
Loved the comment by the newscaster on the BBC - "apparently there are lots of lights in the sky over the north of England, a meteor shower, or we are being invaded!!"
I've just heard on the radio that it wasn't a meteor shower it was actually manmade debris re-entering the earth's atmosphere. Apparently it was travelling to slowly for it to be a meteor shower.
An alien spaceship? HG Wells wrote in The War of the worlds that the Martians came to earth just like that. And we've just invaded their planet.
Worrying, very worrying. :-(
