Meteor 'fireball' spotted in night sky across UK

Police inundated with calls as 'orange glow' is sighted by people from northern Scotland to southern England

Sunday 4 March 2012

An enormous, fiery meteor streaked through the skies above the UK on Saturday night, shooting from northern Scotland to southern England and provoking numerous concerned calls to the police.

The Kielder Observatory in Northumberland reported the sighting of a "huge fireball" travelling southwards at 9.41pm.

In a tweet, the observatory added: "Of 30 years observing the sky #fireball best thing I have ever seen period."

Hundreds of people took to Twitter to report similar sightings across Scotland and the north of England, with many describing a bright fireball with a large tail moving across the sky.

Some, however, found the apparition alarming. 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.

"It has been confirmed with air traffic control that there are no incidents of aircraft in difficulty and nothing registered on radar," she said.

The coastguards also received calls from the public asking if a flare had been used.

Gary Fildes, the director of the Kielder Observatory, said he was with a group of people who went "absolutely mental" when they saw the meteor and wanted to know if it was "going to end life on Earth".

He was hosting a northern lights seminar at the observatory for 40 people when they spotted the fireball for 30-40 seconds.

"We got an incredible view. It was phenomenal," he said. "They went absolutely mental. I was getting questions about what it is and is it going to end life on Earth? It was massively exciting."
