Anyone else see the #meteor burn up over the UKjust before 10pm tonight? I first thought it was a bright star or plane, then it got bigger & faster, then a huge flash lit up the sky & it burst into a massive tail of orange sparks trailing behind like a giant firework! So cool!

One Twitter user noted that the meteor glowed green as it burned. According to scientists, this may indicate that the meteor had a high concentration of copper.
Some advised the locals to look for the fallen object, but experts warned them that the meteor most likely burned up completely upon entering the Earth's atmosphere.
Somehow managed to delete my thread…basically it turns out yes, I did see a shooting star. No, I haven't gone mad. And here is a video (credit to @ElliotTheUnread) to prove it. Goodnight. #shootingstar #meteor pic.twitter.com/1026VzhWxz
