UKMON said the meteor was travelling at about 12,427mph (20,000kmh) when it entered Earth’s atmosphere.
It was seen burning as brightly as a full moon before “going dark”.
Wind and other weather data, as well as any information gathered by the UK Fireball Alliance, is used to help work out where meteorites land.
UKMON has appealed to hillwalkers to keep a lookout for pieces of meteorite and has advice on its website on how to identify the space rock.
But the organisation said finding meteorites would be difficult in a vast area of mountains and glens.
The Winchcombe meteorite was the first to be found on UK soil for 30 years.
Experts said the rock travelled for millions of years before reaching Earth.
