People from across the UK have reported seeing bright objects in the night sky, thought to be meteors or "space junk"
Coastguards in Northern Ireland took calls from people who saw the objects from Coleraine on the north coast, to Strangford Lough in the south east.
The lights were seen as far north as Caithness in Scotland as well as in Wales and Norfolk in East Anglia.
Experts said the sightings could be satellite debris, burning up on entry to the atmosphere.
The lights have also been reported in the Midlands, parts of north-east England and in Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Brian Guthrie in Grangemouth near Edinburgh, who watched the objects pass through the sky, said it appeared to be something "pretty large breaking up in the atmosphere".
"I've seen shooting stars and meteor showers before, but this was much larger and much more colourful."
Coastguards in the Shetland Islands received what they believe is Scotland's most northerly sighting of the meteor at 23:00 BST.
They were called by a member of the public who had seen a bright white light in the sky over the Stacks of Duncansby in Caithness.

I think this article is very interesting because it contains a mystery.In my opinion,such objects actually exist ,but many people do not agree with it.
I would like to see something in the sky like it.In my opinion, it is a unforgettable sight.I saw only falling star 2 years ago=)I had time to make a wish
I think it was a beautiful and exciting spectacle. But I'm one of those people who believe in UFOs. So I think it could be alien intelligence that played with our imagination) Do you believe in aliens?
It`s a fantasy.But when I see something beautiful in the sky I admire...
