UK boy captures flaming METEOR soaring over his house
A 10-year-old boy was stunned when he filmed a flaming METEOR soaring over his house in Manchester.
Jake Southward was warming up to go for a run with dad Anthony, 50, when he spotted a huge fireball in the sky.
The quick-thinking schoolboy grabbed his parents’ iPad and filmed the object as it flashed overhead at 4.30 pm last Wednesday (19/1).
Jake, from Ashton on Mersey, near Sale, said: "I've never seen anything like it before.
“At first I thought it was a plane about to crash, but I realized if it was a plane about to crash it would've been going down."
The youngster, who attends Wellfield Junior School, posted the video online which has attracted hundreds of views.
Mum Yvonne, 50, said: "The children come out with rubbish all the time, so you don't really pay a lot of attention to it.
“But then I saw the video and I thought: 'Actually, that's weird.
"I said: 'You'd better start looking out for a bit of rock, it might be worth some money.
"I was going to send them down to Ashton Park to see where it landed."
