This video appears to be Manmade Space Debris not a Meteor mostly because of
its slow velocity, but a Fireball is a Fireball and who am I to judge.

> The American Meteor Society has received over 30 reports of a bright
meteor that occurred near 23:00 (11:00pm GMT) on Friday September 21, 2012,
over the United Kingdom and Ireland. Brightness estimates of this fireball
vary considerably, but the average lies near magnitude -13, which is
equivalent to the light produced by the full moon. Every color of the
rainbow has been reported with orange being the most predominant. Evidently
this object lasted much longer than the average fireball and a majority of
the reports mentioned fragmentation. Summaries of individual reports may be
viewed in the 2012 AMS Fireball Table at:
