The International Meteor Organisation has so far recorded 876 reports of a 'glowing flash' in the skies last night.
Most of the reports of a 'glowing flash' came from more northern counties, with sightings in county Louth and across Northern Ireland and in Scotland.
Here, there were reports coming from as far south as Dublin:

One Scottish eye witness said:
"I was walking my dog and it was strangely enough 10pm on the dot and I just saw the flash in the sky and pulled out my phone and recorded it.
"I thought it may be a firework at first because there was a lot of Scottish football on but quickly realised it wasn't and just grabbed my phone to see if I could catch it,"
The UK Meteor Network says it's investigating.
