RESIDENTS in Oxford were left shocked after a mystery fireball erupted in the sky after a massive bang.

Numerous locals in the city have been reporting about the "fireball" with the sky "pulsating with flames and smoke" this evening.

A number of concerned citizens took to X, formerly Twitter, to voice their concerns about the shock phenomenon.

One shocking video showed the night sky illuminated by a massive ball of flames.

The fire then billowed into the night, leaving locals stunned.

While another wrote: "Anybody else in Oxford see that fireball??

"Loud explosion and then the sky just did this, keep in mind it's supposed to be dark."

A third user also managed to grab footage of the "strange" event and noted that the "sky was pulsating".

Othe users online also agreed that the sky was "glowing for two minutes" before suddenly disappearing.

Some terrified members of the public reported they experienced a momentary loss of power shortly after the explosion.

Back when, at the factory I worked in, a squirrel took refuge in one of the large transformers outside. Flash, bang, fireball, fried squirrel. Major panic, as it took 5 hours to get power back on.

Same prank was played at Georgia Tech in the 70s.

When they got in between the tall buildings south of campus, there was impressive reverberation!

I thought they were coming on the fourth.

Our balloons never exploded, nothing to contain the hot gas. They just flared. It would take something more sophisticated than what we were playing with then to cause any boom or reverberation. As little fire bugs, we didnt care. lol.

It wasn't a fireball in the sky. It was clouds reflecting a fire on the ground. Later reports are that a container of biogas was ignited by lightning.

Why do so many people want to make a mystery out of this?
