Stunning meteor caught on camera over Eastbourne

The video was taken from Meads by UK Fireball Alliance coordinator Jim Rowe.

Mr Rowe said, “It was a bright meteor, probably a Perseid, and was seen all over England last night at 11:02 pm.

“The Perseid meteors reach their peak tonight so there should be more tonight. These ones don’t drop meteorites but do look great.

“They are pieces of a comet and the earth hits them every year around this time on its orbit.”
