I would appreciate if JohnnyClips can confirm if these actually are meteors?

'Meteors' sighted in skies across UK

People from across the UK have reported seeing bright objects in the sky, thought to be meteors.

Belfast coastguard has taken calls from people who saw the objects from Coleraine on the north coast, to Strangford Lough in the south east. Sightings were also made in Dublin.

The lights were also seen in parts of central Scotland including Grangemouth, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

And the object has been seen in Norfolk and at Walsall in the West Midlands.

One person who contacted the BBC said it was "kind of a mass of light, gold light. Everything moving in unison".

"It wasn't diverging or whatever. I thought it was a plane at first. It was quite low on the horizon and moving much slower than I'd expect to see a shooting star, but it was amazing."

Another said the sight was "like Independence Day" in reference to the film about an alien invasion of Earth.

"It was broken up by the time I saw it. There must have been 10 or 15 huge pieces on fire, white hot with red down the side."
