Fragments are recovered from the blazing fireball that lit up the sky above England last month.

Several rocky fragments have been recovered from the fireball that lit up the sky above southern England just over a week ago.
They came down in the Winchcombe area of Gloucestershire.

It’s 30 years since meteorite material was last retrieved in the UK.
