Fiery trails in southern UK sky

Hi,
Just thought I would pop in aquery to this group concerning a blazing trail
of light that I saw on evening of 25th this month at about 10 GMT. I am no
astronomer but I guessed it could have been space junk burning up in the
higher atmosphere. It lasted about 5 seconds and split into several trails
like a firework, but they all remained on a horizontal plain. Just wondered
if any particular debris was expected this week over UK, or was it more
likely to be a small meteorite?
Thanks in advance
