Anyone who witnessed a ball of flame streaking across the night sky on Wednesday evening will be relieved to discover that the end of the world is definitely not nigh.
UFO spotters, however, may find it something of a disappointment that the fiery spectacle seen lingering above Peterborough was certainly not an alien spacecraft crashing to Earth.
Since 6.30pm on Wednesday,
The Evening Telegraph has been
inundated with calls and e-mails from readers who saw a strange fireball cutting a swath across the heavens for several minutes.
