At around 6pm on January 3, South Wales Police received a call from a member of the public in Pontyclun reporting a large ball of fire in the sky. Officers contacted the RAF who confirmed there has been meteorite activity at the time of the call from the member of the public.

Meteor showers are quite common in the first days of a New Year. Quadrantid showers occur on January 3 and 4 every year and are quite visible to the naked eye.
