People across the UK and France spotted a big meteor fireball lighting up the night sky on Sunday.
The magnificent view was captured by the people in videos and photos, and is doing the rounds on the internet: one can see a bright light suddenly piercing the darkness of the night until it disappears on the other end of the sky.
A Twitter user Nicolas Arzur shared a video captured on the webcam of the port at the Arzal dam in France, whereas some witnesses mentioned experiencing an explosion nearby.

Looks like it was also imaged by the @UKMeteorNetwork camera in Wiltshire. https://t.co/PSjsswTokT
