However, photographer Brad Lee Caslin managed to capture the exact moment the meteor "came in" despite not knowing what it was at first.
He tweeted: “Just saw what I believed was a meteor coming into our atmosphere.
“Quick story was I were just taking a random shot of the night sky then this meteor came in I’m not really sure what it was.”
While some described hearing a “bang” others say they spotted the meteor and it was an “amazing sight”.
One person tweeted: “Lucky enough to see a bright shooting star this evening around 10pm in Bingley, West Yorkshire, like a fireball burning up the night sky, amazing sight, feels odd as no proof did anyone else see it?”
A second replied: “Yes, saw it in Leeds, and widely reported over other parts of the country.”
Another person tweeted: “Just seen a flaming #meteor over #leeds \ #Bradford area it broke up as it came down, no explosion.”
A fourth added: “Large bang in #Leeds, car alarms activated. Spoken to a few people in the area, seems quite widespread, probably a sonic boom. Although there is smoke in the air.”
