The video was shot from a fixed camera at Dawlish Beach, Devon, UK early on Wednesday morning. The operator of the fixed camera later wrote online: "What was caught on camera the other night? Was it a bird or a plane, maybe even superman".
The video was caught by a camera that overlooks the Dawlish railway line - which was destroyed by storms one year ago this week.
On the day before the video was captured, York residents also reported also seeing a ball of fire "falling out of the sky" - according to local media. In June 2014 a 'green fireball meteor' was caught on camera by an observatory in the same Devon area.
That looks like a meteor fireball near the end of its travels although its sudden appearance within the frame suggests it was seen as it entered the atmosphere in which case its relative slowness would be due to its travelling with a substantial horizontal component away from the observer and the apparent downward motion would then be to some extent due to the Earth's curvature. In this case it might come down or burn up hundreds of miles from Devon.
