A small asteroid lit up the sky as it breached the Earth's atmosphere near London early Monday morning.

Footage shows the celestial body designated Sar2667 streaking through the sky before exploding in a bright flash in London on at around 3 am local time on February 13.

The European Space Agency (ESA) said the one-metre meteoroid or space rock will safely impact the Earth's atmosphere over northern France between 3:50-4:03 CET.

The agency said: 'This is just the seventh time an asteroid impact has ever been predicted before it happens - a sign of the rapid advancements in global asteroid detection capabilities!'

The celestial body was reported to have exploded in a spectacular 'airburst' while burning up.
