A 'ball of fire' was spotted above Wardle. It looked like a bonfire flickering in the distance then slowly going out. One theory is that the air was saturated with chemicals which form themselves into a thermal ball. One sighting described the fireball as having "the same intensity as a sodium street light" and added "at first we thought it was a plane crashing".
