Last night’s meteor, visible over the West Midlands, was caused by a piece of asteroid entering the earth’s atmosphere, according to scientists from the UK Fireball Alliance (UKFAll).
The fireball sent a sonic boom across southern England, the organisation said.
Dr Luke Daly of the University of Glasgow and UKFAll said: “This meteor fragmented a lot, as you can see in the videos.
"Most of the meteoroid vapourised during the six seconds of visible flight. However, with this one we think quite a few fragments probably reached the ground”.
What's been reported as a meteor was captured on CCTV and on doorbell cameras last night, an astronomer has said.
The bright streak across the sky was spotted shortly before 22:00 and was visible for around seven seconds, said astronomer Andrew Lound.
The debris which hit the earth's atmosphere was "probably only the size of a pebble," he said.
Posts on social media show it was spotted in Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire and Solihull.

It will be a dull, grey day with lingering patches of fog and cloud with highs of 8°C (46°F).
Infections have "continued to decrease" across the UK in the week to 19 February, the latest figures from the ONS infection survey suggest.
In the West Midlands, one in 140 people are estimated to be testing positive for coronavirus in the period.
At England level, one in 145 people are estimated to be testing positive for the coronavirus compared with one in 115 last week.
About 97% of people aged over 70 in the region have received a Covid-19 vaccine but there is concern that take-up is lower among some ethnic minority groups and people who live in poorer neighbourhoods.
