I have no idea if this is legit, but if you're in southern England or norther France, might be worth a look.

No, seems legit. But it's a size that should burn up on reentry, per ESA.

A little photogrammetry and someone might find a nice bauble if it didn’t go into the drink.

People spotted the 1m space rock streaking across the sky in the early hours of Monday morning.
