Hundreds of miles away in Wales, a meteoroid that is thought to have entered the Earth's atmosphere over northern France has been seen lighting up the sky.
A portion of the night sky was illuminated by Sar2667, a 1m (3ft) long object, on Monday just before 03:30 GMT.
Even though it was tiny, it was captured on CCTV from Gower, Swansea, which is located about 270 miles (440 km) away.
The video was captured by Emma Oliver at her farm in Slade, close to Oxwich, and she called it "pretty amazing.".
Ms. Oliver hurried back to check on her camera after hearing about the meteoroid on the news.
The 35-year-old said, "I saw online that there had been an asteroid that had been seen over England.
"I went to check the cameras because it said 3 o'clock, and when I did, I noticed a huge flash, which at first made me feel frightened.
I had the impression that it might resemble a shooting star, but I had not anticipated seeing anything at all like that. ".
Only seven times in history has a strike of this magnitude had an accurate forecast.
When Sar2667 was first discovered, the European Space Agency warned astronomers that it was likely to "safely strike" the earth's atmosphere close to the French city of Rouen.
This was later described as "a sign of the rapid advancements in global asteroid detection capabilities" in a tweet.
The fact that it was so visible over Gower, according to Ms. Oliver, "I think local people were pretty impressed as well.".
"I believe that if I had seen it then, I would have fled. I believe I would have been hiding under a shed. ".
Although it is challenging to predict when meteoroids will enter the atmosphere, advancements in technology are making it possible to do so.
In November, a meteor shower was observed over Ontario, Canada, that had been accurately predicted just a few months prior.
Ms. Oliver declared that she would unquestionably keep checking her cameras for new discoveries.
She said, "I'll flick back and take a quick look to see what's there as long as it says a time on the news.".
"I don't believe I will move in the camera's direction, that much is certain.
