Forgive my ignorance but tonight when driving home on South Yorkshire border UK I saw what I can best describe as a bright shooting star but not high in the sky. It came down and across, ahead of us. It burned out/stopped shining bright at what I would estimate at about 20-30 feet above the ground and judging by the path it was taking would have landed (if there was anything to land) about three fields away from the road. It was a dark straight country road with fields either side so could not have been a firework and besides it did not look like a firework. Have found your forum and wondered if you could advise if it was possible that is was a small meteorite?
Many thanks for any help
