Wales 2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green
Bright flash seen in skies over Scotland
Did any Scotish members see this..

Police received a large number of calls after a big, bright flash was seen, with people reporting seeing a blue, white or green light, with some saying they also heard a rumbling sound.

There is speculation it could have been a meteor or may have been a sonic boom.

The light appears to have been seen as far south as Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders and Newcastle.

The Met Office said the event was "not weather-related" as there were no thunder storms recorded on Monday night.

The reports of a "fireball" appear to sound like a meteor, which has burned up as it entered the Earth's upper atmosphere and caused the enormous flash that lit up the night sky.



 For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

Sounds like "Day of the Triffids" to me...Best not look directly at the light ( book version, not the movie)

Wow - but didn't see it Big Cry Big Cry

Mind you, many Scots have reported seeing a strange glow in the sky for a couple of days now - most forgot what the sun looks like Very Happy
