:06:15. > :06:16.a meteor about the size of a tennis ball, burning up, in
:06:17. > :06:29.Scotland saw the light just seven o'clock last night. It only
:06:30. > :06:33.lasted seconds but a number of people managed to capture it on
:06:34. > :06:41.their dashboard cameras as they drove home from work. It was the
:06:42. > :06:46.most surreal experience I've ever had, I looked at my son and I said,
:06:47. > :06:50.what the hell was that? He looked at me and said, think it might have
:06:51. > :06:56.been a meteor or something! It went bright and dark again. Absolutely
:06:57. > :07:01.amazing sight to see, and it wasn't until I stopped the car and looked
:07:02. > :07:05.at the footage that I realised, it actually might have been a meteor.
:07:06. > :07:08.The huge flash of bright light illuminated the sky is right across
:07:09. > :07:09.The huge flash of bright light the north of Scotland. It was seen
:07:10. > :07:13.by thousands of people here in the the north of Scotland. It was seen
:07:14. > :07:19.Highlands and spotted as far south as County Durham. Suddenly there was
:07:20. > :07:24.this enormous flash type it up the sky, and of course a new it wasn't
:07:25. > :07:30.something like a firework or even lightning, it was something very
:07:31. > :07:36.different, so I called the police, and the officer I spoke to said they
:07:37. > :07:39.had had several calls, he was able to tell me it definitely wasn't an
:07:40. > :07:43.aircraft and they were investigating. The earth's
:07:44. > :07:49.atmosphere creates all kinds of different light but experts are
:07:50. > :07:54.convinced that this display was caused by small lump the space rock
:07:55. > :07:59.heading towards Scotland. Millions of pieces fall on the earth all the
:08:00. > :08:03.time, every so often you get a larger chunk, the one last night was
:08:04. > :08:08.probably the size of a tennis ball and we estimate that about half a
:08:09. > :08:12.million objects like that burn up in our atmosphere every year so it's
:08:13. > :08:17.not uncommon although it is uncommon to see them as spectacularly as last
:08:18. > :08:22.night. The identification of this flying object does end some of the
:08:23. > :08:27.more far-fetched speculation that it could have been extra terrestrial or
:08:28. > :08:29.even tempi trying to brighten up a long, dark Scottish night! -- Tim
