Eerie footage shows the moment a mystery object falls from the sky over London.

Sarah Sabherwal, 32, captured what appeared to be a fireball on her phone camera on Saturday (27/9) morning.

The flaming object can be seen plunging to Earth at around 7am over Croydon.

Sarah was leaving her house on her way to work when she spotted a bright light in the sky.

She said: "After doing the maximum zoom from my phone and seeing it myself it for sure looks like fireball falling down."

"I thought may be a hot air balloon or something at first, but after I saw some articles about asteroid falling down to moon, I thought may be it is that."

She said to be running late to work and decided to have a look at the video when she arrived.

When she looked at the video she said: "I was absolutely surprised. "

"When you zoom it you can see it is like a fireball."

"Or it could be an asteroid."
