UK doorbell cameras, dashcams capture meteor on video

Residents of the UK were surprised over the weekend when a slow-moving meteor blazed across the night sky.

Videos posted to social media taken from doorbells and dashcams across Britain show the fireball just before 10 pm on Sunday.

The falling object flashed flight as it began to burn up and break down.

Hundreds of people took to the internet with eyewitness reports of the incident.

More than 50,000 meteorites have been found on Earth, most from asteroids, they report.
