Brit woman spots ‘fireball UFO’ racing across sky while driving home on the A1

Yet another sighting of unidentified flying objects or "UFOs" has reignited one of the biggest debates of all – are we alone in the universe?

On Wednesday night, Vicky Borman spotted a "huge pulsating UFO" which she described as something out of a "Men in Black" film.

She said she spotted the object while driving up the A1 at around 9:15pm, reports CambridgeshireLive.

She also claimed that object, resembling a fireball, was also spotted by friends of hers who live in St Neots and Little Paxton in Cambridgeshire.

She explained: “I was driving back up the A1 and it was literally in front of me as I was going along. I was like ‘what is going on?’

“There was no debris – it wasn’t like something had blown up, it had that appearance of something entering the atmosphere quite quickly, that was burning.

“It was visible for a good five or 10 minutes because I was trying to work out how far up the A1 that I’d driven.

“It literally did look like something out of a Men in Black film. It was huge, the area of the sky that it covered was massive.”

Caught against an orange and yellow sky, the ‘object’ appeared as two fiery streaks in some pictures and as one consistent streak in another.

Vicky stated: “I think where the sun was hitting it was making it look even brighter – it was sort of showing its true colours.

“Honestly, it really did look like something strange and I thought ‘what on earth is that?’”

“I couldn’t come up with any kind of feasible explanation. I then thought to myself, perhaps it was a meteor.”

“I thought that it was of interest and I should do the right thing and contact someone.”

When she got home, Vicky looked on the website of amateur astronomers UK Meteor Network (UK MON) to see if that would shine any light on the object.

However, she saw that it did not fit their criteria for a meteor – only adding to her confusion.

She added: “When you look on the UK MON website there’s three points of criteria that you have to follow for it to be a meteor.

“It says on there that if it was visible for longer than 30 seconds, it wasn’t a meteor, because they burn up too quickly. So they say not to report it.”

As it had been in the sky for around ten minutes, Vicky concluded that it was not a meteor. But was it a fireball like she had thought?

She said: “It also said that a fireball will look like a big shooting star, but I'm not sure it was that as it was something very slow, it was sort of like pulsating. It’s quite hard to describe it."

With the UK MON website not offering a defining option, Vicky continued to wonder what it could be.

She said: “Upon looking at the criteria, it’s clearly not a meteor. You start to say what other explanations are there for that? What could it be?

“Is it a satellite that has fallen to earth and burnt up? Is it something like that? I don’t know."

It seems, for now, that there are no concrete answers. Maybe we’ll have to turn to Will Smith for advice.
