FIREBALL

Joss Scott was driving on the Glenshane Pass when she spotted a fireball in the sky. It's one sighting of what's believed to be a space rock in collision with earth's atmosphere, which could have been as large as a small car, and the hunt is on to find any remains which might have landed somewhere in Ireland.
