Mystery light in the sky
A BODLE Street Green resident saw what he believes was a meteorite as he drove from his home on Sunday morning towards Ringmer.
Philip Hale had just passed the gates to the old Laughton Lodge Hospital at Laughton at 9.55am when the object flew in down in fields to his right.
'It was a white object with a blue tail flame travelling very fast on a trajectory of about 45 degrees down to the Earth,' he said.
'The object must have crashed in a field.
'Did anybody else see it? Was it a meteorite or a fireball or what else could it have been?'
Mr Hale said the object was about 800 yards away and in his sight for several seconds.
'I didn't stop. Perhaps I should have,' he added. 'I'd never seen anything like it before in my life. There should be some evidence in the field of its impact.'
A spokesman for Sussex Police said nothing had been reported to them.
