Danny Nell, 21, was walking his dog in Johnstone, near Paisley and Glasgow, at 10pm when he “saw the flash in the sky and pulled out my phone and recorded it.” “It was incredible,” he told BBC Radio Scotland’s Good Morning Scotland programme. “I was sitting in my living room at exactly 10 o’clock last night and saw out of the window, due south, this brilliant fireball, this meteor streaking across the sky, and I could tell that it was something special because I could see through broken cloud.
“This one was streaking across the sky for at least 10 seconds – probably longer than that – and it travelled from due south all the way across to the west, so it was a pretty incredible sight.”
