Reports of a "bright light" and an "orange glow" were received by police across Scotland and the north of England around 9.40pm.
The Met Office tweeted: "Hi All, for anyone seeing something in the night sky, we believe it was a meteorite."
A spokesman for Strathclyde Police said the force had been "inundated" with calls about a bright object in the sky across the west of Scotland. A Durham Police spokeswoman said a number of calls came in around 9.45pm from concerned members of public who had seen a "bright light or a fire in the sky" and believed it may have been incidents involving an aircraft. "
It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraftin difficult and nothing registered on radar," she said. "
The sightings are believed to be either an asteroid burning out or similar which has been restricted to the upper atmosphere only." Grampian Police said reports of people seeing a "flare or a bright object with a tail" were received from across the region. And Dumfries and Galloway Constabulary said numerous calls were made about a "large ball of fire in the sky" across Annandale and Eskdale.
One user wrote on the force's Facebook page: "It was awesome to see! Really big and bright!" Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England. People described seeing a bright fireball moving across the sky with a large tail.
The Kielder Observatory also reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling from north to south over Northumberland at 9.41pm. The Observatory posted on Twitter: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

Recently, a Chicago policeman managed to capture on camera an impressive fireball caused by an Illinois meteor. Although it may not seem like much, this is a rare event that illuminates the night sky. Sergeant Chrusciel happened to be next to the 75th St./Interstate 355 intersection when the fireball appeared on the sky. The impressive video was caught by the video camera placed on the dashboard of the police car.
The clip shows the meteor as it crosses the sky from the left to the right. From what it seems, the police officer was quite lucky to get the images on the camera. According to Jim Hoff, who works as an analyst for the Village of Woodridge management, declared that there was no report about this for the city. The event of the meteor took place early in the morning, so probably most of the inhabitants were asleep.
Soon after the event, at 5:42 AM, local time, the police department uploaded the footage to Facebook. Then, they also uploaded it on the Twitter account belonging to their department. Mr. Hoff also added that the reach for the post was over 40,000 people, which is the most viewed video they have on their page.
If this entire event made you curious about the process behind, then it’s time to have a look at the process behind. Meteors are also called bolides, and are, in fact, cosmic debris that explodes out there in the atmosphere.
The fireball that comes out of this can even shine twice as much as a full moon! In fact, they can be so big that NASA is currently hunting out larger such pieces out there that can become a threat to our safety on the planet. However, you can relax, there were no threats identified until now, so we can just relax and enjoy the show if we have the chance.
On May 11, 2019 a fireball was seen from multiple states including Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin around 12:45 am Eastern Time. Over 250 reports were made to the American Meteor Society.
Both videos are of this fireball:

NASA Chief Warns That Humans Must Prepare For A Massive Meteor Strike Published on May 6, 2019
NASA administrator, Jim Bridenstine, recently warned an audience at the International Academy of Astronautics’ Planetary Defense Conference, about the very real possibility of a large meteor crashing into the earth.
“We have to make sure that people understand that this is not about Hollywood. It’s not about movies. This is about ultimately protecting the only planet we know right now to host life, and that is the planet Earth,” Bridenstine said.

NASA administrator, Jim Bridenstine, recently warned an audience at the International Academy of Astronautics’ Planetary Defense Conference, about the very real possibility of a large meteor crashing into the earth.
“We have to make sure that people understand that this is not about Hollywood. It’s not about movies. This is about ultimately protecting the only planet we know right now to host life, and that is the planet Earth,” Bridenstine said.
Bridenstine reference a large meteor that entered the earth’s atmosphere and exploded over Chelyabinsk, in central Russia, in February of 2013. The meteor measured roughly 20 meters in diameter and was traveling at 40,000 mph.
“It was brighter in the sky than the sun at that point when it entered Earth’s atmosphere. And people could feel the heat from this object from 62 kilometres away… When it finally exploded 18 miles above the surface…it had…30 times the energy of the atomic bomb at Hiroshima… It damaged buildings in six cities,” Bridenstine said.
“I wish I could tell you that these events are exceptionally unique, but they are not,” he added.
Bridenstine is among a growing number of researchers and scientists who are suggesting that governments put more effort into space programs that are specifically tasked with formulating a plan for incoming meteors and space debris.

Meteorite hits a house in San Carlos, Costa Rica
A very bright meteor exploded over Costa Rica at 03:10 UTC on April 24, 2019 (21:07 LT on April 23) and was seen and recorded across the country.
The American Meteor Society (AMS) received 3 reports from Alajuela and Guanacaste.
Parts of the meteor survived the atmospheric entry and hit a house in the city of San Carlos, destroying parts of its roof and some of the furniture. Pieces have been collected and are now under analysis.
Owner of the house said she found the warm rock on the floor.

NASA and FEMA Will Simulate an Impending Asteroid Strike Next Week
NASA, FEMA, and other national and international agencies are once again gearing up for a hypothetical asteroid impact preparedness scenario. They hope to learn the best strategies for responding to a potential strike, starting from the moment a threatening asteroid is first detected by astronomers.
Next week marks the start of the International Academy of Astronautics Planetary Defense Conference. As part of this conference, NASA’s Planetary Defense Coordination Office will team up with other partners to perform a “tabletop exercise” on how they’d handle the news of a (fictional) asteroid on a collision course with Earth.

A SPACE rock travelling at speeds of up to 45,000 mph was captured on a police officer’s dashcam while he was on a routine patrol.
Patrol officer, Nathan Kutz was carrying out an extra sweep of ocean City’s 130th street area after receiving a request from a worried resident but instead of catching a local villain he caught an intruder from outer space on his dashcam.
A spokesperson for Ocean City Police Department said: “Just before midnight, the meteor flew through the sky and was captured on PFC Kutz's dash cam.
“We are used to our dash cams catching the bad guys but the fact that it caught this beautiful display of science is incredible.”

Meteors - also known as shooting stars - typically hit speeds of up to 45,000mph when they enter the earth’s atmosphere.
As they head towards the surface of the earth they create a streak of light caused by friction with the atmosphere.
Meteors become visible between about 75 to 120 km above Earth and can vary in size and composition.
