A bright fireball shaped meteor was seen across the UK

On the evening of February 28^th, a huge meteor flew over the UK, illuminating the entire night sky with its bright light. This sight could be seen around 22:00. But not everyone was lucky enough to watch it because it lasted only 7 seconds. However, one unofficial group of young astronomers who usually use cameras to oversee meteors across the UK said that based on the videos they were able to shoot, the meteor appeared to be a slow-moving ball of fire.

For those who don’t know, meteors burn when they enter the atmosphere, and these fireballs are meteors that can even be seen in daylight. What’s more, several thousands of meteors pass through the Earth’s atmosphere every day, but almost all of them end up falling over the ocean.
