At approximately 9.55pm yesterday evening, huge numbers of people from across Herefordshire and the rest of the country reported hearing a ‘loud explosion’ with some people saying that they had seen what appeared to be a meteor break up in the sky as it approached the ground.

Photos and videos of the meteor quickly started to appear on social media channels. Here are a few of the best.
