Likened to a scene from an HG Wells novel, the green streak of a meteor has been sighted in the skies above Peterborough and Stamford. Verified by three separate eye-witness accounts, the meteor which could have been hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface may have been no larger than a pea. The meteor was initially reported to The Evening Telegraph by a reader in Werrington, Peterborough, who spotted the glowing green object at 7pm on Wednesday.
