A "brilliant fireball" seen in the skies above parts of Britain is believed to have been space debris, experts have said.
The UK Meteor Network said it had received almost 800 reports after the blazing orb was spotted in the night sky on Wednesday. The organisation said that having studied many videos of the incident, it is now of the opinion "this was space debris".
It comes after people spotted the ball of light in the skies above parts of Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. The network tweeted: "There have been nearly 800 reports of the fireball that was seen over UK last night."
