Reports that a “massive meteor” has been seen in the in the night skies over the southern half of the UK are coming in.

 

People were disturbed on Sunday night when what is understood to be a meteor broke up as it descended through the atmosphere.

 

The meteor sent shock waves throughout the region with people what they described as a “sonic boom” across the South West.

 

In the Forest of Dean in Gloucestershire one woman said: “Scared all the pheasants out of the forest but a few moments before hand my partner said that were a strange light outside.”

 

Meanwhile Thomas Page in Bristol tweeted: “Did anyone just hear a dull boom? Almost like a sonic boom?”

 

In Someset Wayne Hand said he'd seen a "massive meteoroid over Chilcompton" as he was putting the bins out "and it lit up the sky".

 

This is a live incident and we will have more details as we get them.
