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."

Bright Fireball Over Maryland and Pennsylvania (Apr 17)
AMS has received over 50 reports of a fireball in Maryland and southern Pensylvania on April 17th around 9:10pm EDT.
Observers from as far north as Toronto, Canada reported seeing the bright light in the sky.
The preliminary estimated trajectory plotted from the witness reports shows the meteor was traveling from the south east to the north west and ended its flight few miles north of Oxford, PA.
"Definitely a bolide type object with probable fragmentation. Several pulse type flares during descent," as reported by John O. on AMS.

Fireball Over Northern England (Apr 15)
A spectacular fireball was seen streaking across the sky Wednesday evening.
The luminescent green ball burned brightly for several seconds as it plunged earthward.
The larger-than-average meteor fell in the northern skies at 9.25pm with sightings in County Durham, Newcastle, North Yorkshire, and Cumbria.
Amateur astronomer Martin Whipp, of Ripon, North Yorkshire, said: "I was heading back home driving parallel to the A1 near Boroughbridge when I saw it.
“It was magnitude 5, which is slightly bigger than Venus and was visible for two to three seconds before it broke up into pieces as it came down. It was slightly greenish in colour."
Ian Critchley, of Birkenhead, near Liverpool, said he was travelling along the M6 near the A6 turnoff when he saw a bright flash.
“It was a greenish fireball with purplish tinges. It appeared to be half a mile away, but it was very difficult to judge the scale."
“It lit up the inside of the car, it was that that bright. It looked as though it came to ground west of the motorway.”

More on the fireball over Hungary & Slovakia...
Meteor explodes above terrified city in massive fireball seconds before impact
The spectacular moment a meteor plummets towards a city in Slovakia before dissolving in a flash of light has been captured on camera.
The ‘out-of-this-world’ action was spotted by hundreds of worried people in the eastern part of Slovakia shortly before dusk on April 6 - who feared the asteroid would crash into their homes.
Lasting only a few seconds, the clip shows the meteor racing rapidly towards earth.
A split second later there is a flash of a fireball, before the bright yellow light quickly disintegrates and disappears.

Fireball Over San Francisco (Mar 30)
Sky watchers spotted a fireball streaking across the sky Monday night after 8 p.m., burning in oranges, yellows, and even purples before fragmenting and disintegrating overhead.
"This was the brightest meteor I can recall having seen. It passed about a hand span or two from the moon and seemed brighter. I could not tell if it ‘burned out’ or disappeared behind the clouds. My first sight of it was directly overhead, and fully bright, not faded-in as most meteors do, so I believe it started behind me. It moved much faster than an airplane.”
“I ran into the house to tell everyone to get away from the windows.”
Some reported hearing a sound, while most others heard nothing, but many saw a burning trail of cosmic debris.

The Loch Ness METEOR: Photographer captures shooting star lighting up the sky above lake thanks to 'sheer dumb luck'
The photographer was John Alasdair Macdonald, a tour guide in the Scottish Highlands from Drumnadrochit on the west shore of Loch Ness, who runs the website called The Hebridean Explorer.
Mr Macdonald captured the 30-second long image using a Sony RX100 compact camera at about 9pm on Sunday.
His long-exposure shot of Loch Ness shows the shooting star streaking across the sky.
And the event is so bright that it casts its light across the water.

Event into space in France on Monday, 16 March, 2015 at 08:45 (08:45 AM) UTC.
A huge meteorite lit up the night in eastern France on Sunday as well as other parts of Europe. It was captured on amateur video footage. The meteorite which was seen in the skies above the regions of Alsace and Lorraine near the German border was also visible from parts of Switzerland and Austria. The ball of fire passed over Europe at around 9pm on Sunday night and was largely visible to the naked eye. Witnesses told Swiss newspaper Le Matin that they saw a "flash, like a lightning bolt" and others reported hearing a dull thunder accompanying the meteorite as it passed through the sky. "The information we received clearly indicates that it was a meteorite," said Markus Griesser from the Eschenberg Observatory in Switzerland. The specialist says it is too early to determine where the meteorite may have crashed. The ball of fire was caught on camera in this amateur video footage shot in Austria.

Event into space in United Kingdom on Monday, 16 March, 2015 at 08:44 (08:44 AM) UTC.
A major search operation was launched after red distress flares were reported off the west coast of Cumbria. Concerned members of the public reported someone in trouble at about 9.20pm last night. Maryport Coastguard Rescue Team was dispatched to the area, between Workington and the Isle of Whithorn, where members took up various observation points while Workington lifeboat was dispatched to carry out a search. A spokesman for the coastguard said: "After a thorough search of the area and enquiries made - as well as receiving more reports from other parts of the country reporting lights in the sky - it was decided that the sighting was probably a meteorite." The team and lifeboat were stood down and, as the coastguard was leaving the area, the team was flagged down by a security guard from one of the local factories reporting a bright object moving across the sky.
Bright Fireball Blazes Across Colorado Skies (Mar 11)
A massive fireball lit up skies over Colorado just before dawn on the morning of March 11.
The meteor, flashing a glowing bright green tail, was seen by a vast number of eyewitnesses.
"As it moved towards the far horizon it started to flame out, but even after the tail was gone a bright orange ball was still visible till it disappeared beyond the far mountain range. It was pretty incredible," Greg Moore, an analyst for Weather5280 who witnessed the event, said.
"The head was bright white, and it had a deep orange tail with what looked like sparks falling behind, moving very slowly for a meteor. I've seen a lot of meteors in my day but this must have been the most spectacular, lasting for what seemed like around 10 seconds," Nate Hershey, a Colorado resident.
NASA confirmed the fireball was in fact a meteor.
