People alerted authorities about the glowing object over Yelverton, Devon, at around 6.25 a.m. Sunday.

"One man reported a possible mid-air collision between two planes, with one catching fire and falling from the sky." police said in a statement. "Officers launched a search of the area with assistance from the HM Coastguard helicopter as police were unable to categorically rule out the possibility of a plane crash," the statement said.

Local airports confirmed the incident didn't involve any aircraft and nobody was injured," police said."All services were stood down after no aircraft debris was seen and further sightings of a meteor shower were reported over the South West," the statement added.
