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."

Namibia: Meteorite Strikes Mahangu Field (May 10)
Onesi — Thousands of people have flocked to the Omusati Region out of curiosity to view a small piece of meteorite that landed in a mahangu field in the village of Oshika, in Onesi Constituency, yesterday morning.
The incident created fear and panic among villagers who suggested the 'strange object' had something to do with the recent commotion over the 12 South African aircraft that were released after days of grounding at Ondangwa Airport. The aircraft of South African origin were grounded for several days and then sent back to South Africa, because they had no permits to use Namibian airspace.
People who came from all over the five northern regions, including the Kunene Region, flocking to Oshika, expressed fears that the tourists may have had something to do with the 'strange' object that fell in the mahangu field of Andreas Kamafo Ningilenimo.
"Maybe those people who came here with so many aircraft are responsible for this. Maybe that object is poisonous, we are scared, we won't even want to get close to it. If it is not taken away, we will not cultivate near it," said Selma Shikongo.
A piece of meteorite, the of a size of a small ball or two human fists put together made such an impact that people within a radius of over 200km were able to hear the explosive impact, feel the resulting tremor and observe the blinding light that followed as it landed.
A local engineer suggested that the object needs to be analysed to determine its chemical composition. According to the engineer, meteorites are rocks from outer space, and are referred to as meteors before they hit the ground. Once they hit the ground, the objects that are made of metallic substances, are then referred to as meteorites.
"They burn because of the high velocity at which they travel, that is why they look like burned metal when they hit the ground," said the engineer who requested anonimity. The engineer further said meteors are very fast and heavy which justifies the explosive sound and vibration while still in the air and as they hit the ground.
Selma Shikongo, the wife of Ningilenimo, said the incident took place at around 4.30 yesterday morning when the family was still in bed. "First we saw a light through our bedroom window, which my husband brushed off, thinking that it was car passing by. We then heard a sizzling sound, then a loud bang. The children ran to me saying that something had fallen near the entrance of the house, and we should run away. While I was comforting the children, we saw another bluish light - and once more there was a sizzling sound, then everything went silent," Shikongo explained.
According to Shikongo, the family went out of the house later in the morning in search for what had fallen but they couldn't find it immediately. It was only after they returned from the homestead of their neighbours, that they noticed the object that looked like burned metal lying in their own mahangu field - just a few metres from their homestead. That is when they reported the incident to the police. People who flocked to the scene from as far as the Oshana and Ohangwena regions, also claimed to have seen the light, while some claim to have heard the loud bang and even felt tremors.
"It sounded like a bomb, but it was so difficult to figure out the direction," said one person from the Ohangwena Region. Another person from the Oshana Region claimed that he saw the bright light through his bedroom window, but it was very fleeting, in the early morning hours. Simon Shingulu Josef a petrol attendant from Okaxwakangamba, a village near Outapi, said he was getting ready for work at around 4 o'clock in the morning when he saw a bright light accompanied by a whistling sound followed by explosive vibrations.
"The light came from the east to the west and it looked so bright, like the light of day and it was accompanied by a sizzling sound. The roof of my room was vibrating and I heard a loud bang that felt like a bomb exploding. When I came to work, people from faraway places, including Angola, were asking what had happened in Namibia," said Josef. Louise Geldenhuys, who was one of the thousands of people who went to witness the 'fallen star' said he had suspected that the unknown object was either a meteorite or something that came from space.
"But I suggested to the police officer that they should guard it, it could be valuable" he said.
FIREBALL METEOR EXPLODES NEAR TOKIO, JAPAN (May 6)
A meteor exploded over Japan terrifying dozens people in the early morning of May 6, 2013. An amateur photographer captured spectacular images of the blast which were then posted on the Internet (scroll down for video and photos).
The space rock disintegrated in the atmosphere releasing a noisy boom over Saitama Prefecture, near Tokyo. The celestial event took place at 3.58 a.m. local time and a video footage shows the meteor appearing as a fast moving fireball whose intensity gradually increases.
The first snaps were uploaded by an eyewitness on the blog Sonotaco.jp before spreading across the social networks.

Large Green Fireball Seen Across England and Wales (May 8)

A meteor has been spotted travelling across the night sky by people in many parts of England and Wales.
Sightings of the celestial body were reported on Twitter in areas such as Cornwall, Hampshire, Lancashire, south Wales and Worcestershire.
Suzy Buttress, of Basingstoke, described witnessing the meteor as a "once in a lifetime thing".
Ms Buttress, who was driving home on the M3 when she saw the heavenly object, told the BBC: "It was amazing, so big, bigger than a shooting star. It had a strange greenish tinge to it, with a definite tail behind it.
"This was definitely a ball with a tail. It took its time going across the sky. It went behind a cloud, then came out the other end.
"At first I hoped it wasn't an aircraft crashing. It's a once in a lifetime thing."
Richard Escott, a security supervisor for the BBC in Cardiff, explained what he saw.
"I was standing outside having a bit of fresh air and as I turned round I saw this very bright blue light which was dimming," he said.
"It was coming very steadily, progressing across the night sky, but it was at sort of building level and then died out to nothing.
LARGE METEOR DANCES ACROSS WYOMING SKY
A large meteor exploded in the sky above southern Wyoming on Sunday night and was observed from as far as 400 miles away.
Jordan Dowers of Olympia, Wash., was driving along Interstate 80 near Laramie with his father when they spotted it about 10:45 p.m.
“The first thing we noticed is the sky lit up really bright,” said Dowers, 23. “At first it was, ‘Where did that lightning strike come from?’ Then it was much, much brighter than lightning. From the south, it was neon blue. It looked like it was going to hit the ground. Then it just disappeared.”
Eight witnesses reported the event to the American Meteor Society, including people as far away as Idaho and Colorado.
Technically, the meteor is called a bolide, said society volunteer Mike Hankey, who lives in Baltimore.
Bolides tend to be blue in color.
A bolide is “the type of meteor that leaves meteorites” after exploding, Hankey said. “It’s really bright. It gets everyone excited.”
Hankey estimated the bolide’s trajectory at 150 miles. It traveled from southeast to northwest and lasted just seconds.
“They blow up and that’s when all that light happens,” Hankey said. “Then the boulder turns into thousands of little pieces.”
In fact, it’s rare for stuff from outer space to stream through the atmosphere without burning up or exploding, he said.
“With movies and all this, we think it’s, like, this burning mass that hits the ground and then there’s this explosion and a crater on the ground. That happens only once every 100,000 years,” he said.
About three bolides trail across the Earth’s skies a day. But a person actually seeing a bolide is rare since most of the world is covered by oceans.
Most people will only see a bolide once or twice in their lifetimes, Hankey said.
In Wyoming, the lack of light pollution from cities may increase someone’s chances. At 5:45 a.m. on March 28, a meteor that
traveled across the sky from the Big Horn Mountains to Montana’s Medicine Rocks State Park was seen by people as far away as Canada. Numerous Casperites who were commuting for work saw it, too.
Hankey said that when he started working with the society in 2009, only a few bolides were reported.
“This year, it’s crazy, man,” he said. “They’re happening left and right. [People] are more aware. They’re more connected. They’re using the Internet. They know about our site.”

Astronomers are confident that what was seen in Rocha was a meteorite
The phenomenon bewildered many between Saturday night and the early hours of Sunday. The astronomer Gonzalo Tancredi has no doubt that it was a meteor, although they are still collecting items.
"We have been collecting reports from people who saw and heard the phenomenon, in the Castles, Chuy, to Maldonado and Thirty-Three., But most comes from Rocha" said Dr. Tancredi to El Pais.
But the strongest hypothesis for the astronomer and director of the Astronomical Observatory Los Molinos, the phenomenon was due to a meteor entering the atmosphere. "We call it as a fireball, brighter than a full moon.'s Income that object at high speed, and its collision with the molecules and atoms in the atmosphere, was consuming the material and heating, acquiring a glow intense, "said Tancredi.
The truth is that in Rocha, in the provincial capital and other towns, was the dominant theme
Fortunately, the phenomenon did not cause other effects that surprise and, indeed, there are no reports of its impact on the surface.
SIGNS. "That has very short duration (no more than three seconds) and the presence of the sonic boom is heard seconds later, suggests that it is a phenomenon of this type, meteor," said the expert .
