“Kent Fire and Rescue Service responded after a pilot was among several who reported what they thought was an aircraft crashing into the sea at Whitstable.

After fire-fighters from Whitstable and Herne Bay searched the area, no trace of the aircraft could be found.

Air traffic controllers told rescue crews they did not have any planes missing, so the search was called off and recorded as a meteorite falling to Earth.

A spokesman for Kent Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘Two independent calls came in reporting a plane had crashed off the coast.

‘Even a pilot who was looking out of his window reported a plane was in distress and had gone into the sea.

‘Fishermen in the area also reported seeing something, but in the end nothing was found and it was put down to a meteorite falling to Earth.'” Read more.
