The Guardian says A fireball was witnessed crossing the night sky over Scotland and Northern Ireland on Wednesday, in what one astronomer described as an “incredible” sight.

UK Meteor Network said it received the first reports of a fireball at about 10pm BST and they have now had 800 reports, and believe it was heading north above the coast between Scotland and Northern Ireland

One Twitter user filmed what she thought was a “shooting star” over the town of Larbert, between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Steve Owens, an astronomer and science communicator at the Glasgow Science Centre, said it was a “brilliant fireball”.
