Driving between Bathurst and Miramichi on New Year's Eve, one motorist and his passenger saw a different kind of fireworks in the sky.
Mike Gallant was on his way from Bathurst to Moncton when, at exactly 4:45 p.m., he saw a luminous teal-blue streak that lit up the darkening sky. "It looked like a meteor to me," he said. "It was clear as day to myself and my passenger."
He described the streak as being darker on the bottom and lighter in colour towards the top, although the entire object was extremely bright. "It completely brightened the sky," he said.

The numerous ghoulish encounters with a mysterious 'white lady' has prompted many to believe they had met a supernatural being.
For bemused locals, the only question on their minds, was: 'Who You Gonna Call?'
Well, Ghostbusters, of course.
Over the past six weeks there have been dozens of sightings of the apparition near the ruins of a remote farmhouse in near Coalisland in Co Tyrone.

Big meteor last night! (Jan 7) Anyone else see it?
Half Moon Bay, California - We were heading south on 1 at Montara Beach, Jan 7, about 8:45 PM.
The meteor appeared to the southwest. It was quite low, just above the treeline, but winked out before it was obscured by the trees.

Readers from as far afield as Canada have contacted us this week after they spotted the same orange light which was sighted over the skies of Saltcoats on Tuesday, December 23.
One amateur astronomer from Inverness believes he saw the same light on the same night and can't find any reasonable explanation. Andy Ferguson explained: "My wife was visiting her family in Kilwinning and her dad had given her the Herald. When I read the story about the UFO sighting I was surprised as I also saw the orange light in the sky over Inverness.

Whitby could be turning into a UFO hotspot with yet more reports flooding into the Gazette offices of mysterious lights in the sky.
The phenomenon has also been spotted in other parts of the country and even hit the front page of a national newspaper yesterday when a UFO was believed to have hit a 300ft wind turbine tearing off its giant 65ft blades, baffling power chiefs.
A holidaymaker who spent his new year break in Whitby has told of his surprise at seeing a ball of flames in the sky near the abbey on New Year's Day evening.
