Thousands of people witnessed a large fireball heading over the United Kingdom and Ireland on Friday evening (September 21st 2012).
The large meteor could be seen from Dublin to Belfast, and Glasgow to the Midlands of England.
The object seemed to disintegrate in the atmosphere, with the BBC posting amateur footage from Ballymena in Northern Ireland.
An eyewitness said it was “very bright, very beautiful.”
