UFO Sighting!

Is it a falling star? Is it a comet? Is it a firework? Is it ball lightning? Is it an alien lifeform?

As we were driving back from the East Midlands on the motorway, I suddenly saw a ball of fire, bigger than a tennis ball but smaller than a football, with a firey tale, falling from the sky onto the road in front of us. H saw it too, just before it disappeared or burnt out. When I first saw it my first thought was of a firework, but it was big, and seemed to move more slowly. I slowed, ready to swerve, imagining that it might impact in the road or fall on the car. It didn't, and we looked for any other strange unidentified flying objects, but saw nothing.

A curious incident indeed.
