<b> A Daytime Fireball Over South Wales </b> <br>

<b> Explanation: </b>

Jon Burnett, a teenager from
<a href="http://www.south-wales.org.uk/southwales/faqs.shtml"
>South Wales</a>,
<a href="http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/uk.html"
>UK</a>, was photographing some friends
<a href="http://www.exploratorium.edu/skateboarding/trick.html"
>skateboarding</a> last week when the sky did something very strange.

High in the distance, a sofa-sized rock came
<a href="http://www.imo.net/fireball/">hurtling</a>
into the nearby atmosphere of planet Earth and disintegrated.

By diverting his camera, he was able to
<a href="http://www.imo.net/fireball/report.html"
>document</a> this <a href="ap010728.html">rare sky
event</a> and capture one of the more spectacular
meteor images yet recorded.

Roughly one minute later, he took
<a href="image/0310/fireball2_burnett_big.jpg"
>another picture</a> of the dispersing meteor trial.

<a href="ap011119.html">Bright fireball</a>s
occur over someplace on Earth nearly every day.

A separate <a href="ap981125.html">bolide</a>,
likely even more dramatic,
<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/3149404.stm"
>struck India</a> only a few days ago.
