Large meteor burns bright trail over the UK's night sky

A large meteor has been seen streaking across the night sky on Monday evening, with residents in both Westminster and Wolverhampton reporting sightings.

One woman said she "had just turned my computer off and looked up out of the window" before spotting the celestial object, adding: "It was perfect timing."

Photographs captured by automatic cameras as part of the UK Meteor Network caught images of the bright meteor above at around 8.01pm on Monday night.
