A police officer working the late shift was out to nab some drivers breaking the speed limit - but he was met by a speeder of a different sort: a fireball that lit up the midnight sky.

Dashcam footage recorded by the Portland Maine Police Sgt Tim Farris shows the perpetrator streak through the clouds just before 01.00 am. 

“You never know what you are going to see on duty,” the PMPD wrote on its Facebook page. “Sgt Farris was looking for speeders while parked in front of the central fire station and was able to observe some visitors ‘from away’ .... far away.” 

The Mount Washington Observatory said they were receiving “preliminary reports” of a “fireball/meteor seen/heard over New England”. However, they were unable to see it due to fog and high winds.

The CIA has posted online previously secret photographs purportedly showing UFOs or ‘flying saucers’ hovering over Britain.

The hand selected images are among formerly classified files from the 1950s which were hidden away by the American spy agency. 

First released in 1978, the images show how the CIA carried out extensive and secretive investigations into whether extraterrestrial life exists.
