Details:
A BRIGHT fireball sighted and heard across the country is believed to have been caused by a meteor.
Police were inundated with calls from members of the public who reported the sighting along with a loud bang. Many claimed their homes shook.
The most spectacular sighting were made across the north of Scotland, particularly Inverness-shire and Aberdeenshire.
The spectacle on Monday evening was witnessed across Scotland, and prompted many to report the sight of a “fireball” in the sky and a violent bang.
A Police Scotland spokeswoman said they began receiving calls at around 6.55pm on Monday evening. She said: “One told us the sky had been lit up with an object like a fireball. Another caller said there was a very loud bang and others said the house shook.
