Huge fireball lights up sky after ‘explosion’ in Oxford area (video)

The cause is unknown

Newsroom October 2 11:00

A huge fireball has been seen in Oxfordshire after reports of an “explosion” in the area.

The mystery bang was reported earlier this evening, with people sharing footage of the fire on social media.

A witness told the Oxford Mail they saw a “strange pulsing sky out of our windows looking northwest of Oxford”.

“I’m guessing it’s a fire caused by the lightning storm that passed over,” the witness added.
