At about 10 pm on the 13th, a fireball flying 10-20 seconds in the Sky appeared in the Scottish region. The doctoral students at the University of Glasgow at the scene were also a member of the British Fireball Alliance. It is clear whether this fireball is a meteor or space fragment, which has the characteristics of the two. We have asked someone to deal with the shot and calculate the flying ball. We can only guess now, but no matter what, this is a great thing. "

The fireball flying in the air attracted many people, and everyone took out their mobile phones to take this unusual picture. Many netizens said: "Can't believe it!"

The chairman of the International Meteor Organization Wirbeck said the organization received more than 800 reports about the fireball on the day on his website, and then they used this information to prepare the possible trajectory of the fireball. Richard Casek, the founder of the British Meteor Observation Network, said that they believe that the fireball is a space fragment. He said: "From the video recorded by the public, its movement seems to be much slower than meteor."
