A small (~1-meter) asteroid that astronomers have been tracking for several hours earlier today crossed over the English Channel one hour ago (3:00 UT 13 February) and broke up over the coast of Normandy. Many videos of it are already appearing on the web. Here's one taken from Brighton, UK (south coast of England) looking across the channel toward France:
