Argus readers have reported seeing meteorites in the sky over Sussex.

Louise Nippard was driving through Portslade when she spotted the smoky objects fly above her and land in the sea.

Mrs Nippard, 44, said: “There are lots of them. It is absolutely amazing.

“They are moving really fast and other people are watching them too.

“I can’t believe it.”

This is not the first time meteorites have hit Sussex.

In June cricket fan Jan Marszal believed he was hit on the head by a meteorite as he watched Sussex battle with Middlesex in a county championship division two clash.

Mr Marszal, an IT consultant from Blackboys, near Uckfield, said: “We were sitting at the boundary edge when all of a sudden, out of a blue sky, we saw this small dark object hurtling towards us.

“It landed five yards inside the boundary and split into two pieces.

“One piece bounced up and hit me in the chest and the other ended up against the boundary board.

“It came across at quite a speed – if it had hit me full on it could have been very interesting."

However, a meteorite expert claimed it was a piece of cement not a meteorite.
