news Dazzling meteor captured on doorbell cameras People across England were treated to a dazzling display on Sunday night, as a meteor lit up the sky with a bright streak of light. It was spotted shortly before 22:00 GMT, with some initially thinking it was simply a large firework. But some lucky homeowners were delighted to discover they had captured the mesmerising event on their doorbell video cameras. Scientists say the fireball was likely to have been a small piece of asteroid. It was visible for around seven seconds. Ivor Lafford, 52, has a Nest doorbell, which doubles as a security camera, fitted to the front door of his home in Milton Keynes.
