For listener Jay in Wexford, driving up the N11 got very exciting!

He was coming out of Wexford town when a meteor whizzed by the window of his car. Speaking to Dermot and Dave, Jay explained that it was 'out of this world, shiny and had green flames trailing it'.

Of course, he came to TodayFM looking for answers, and answers we provided!

Professor Peter Gallagher from Dunsink Observatory hopped on the line to explain what Jay might have seen and what to do if you come across some of the leftovers!
