TL;DR

A small asteroid has entered the Earth's atmosphere and was seen lighting up the sky above the English Channel, creating a stunning shooting star effect.

Quite rare to get one on film so worthy of a thread on its own,"It is just the seventh time an asteroid impact has been predicted in advance.
The European Space Agency tweeted that it was "a sign of the rapid advancements in global asteroid detection capabilities!"https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64621721
