Police were inundated with calls with people reporting seeing a blue, white or green light, and some saying they also heard a rumbling sound.

There is speculation it could have been a meteor or may have been a sonic boom.

And the Met Office ruled out a “weather-related” phenomenon as there were no thunderstorms recorded on Monday night.
