Residents of the UK massively report a meteor flying over Scotland — the UK Meteor Network, which collects data on meteors, received more than 200 requests from eyewitnesses.

In the network, users also began to publish videos depicting a space object. Some witnesses claim that he was flying "so low that he could be heard." Many also heard a loud bang when the object entered the Earth's atmosphere and broke the sound barrier.

It is not yet known where the meteor fell. According to initial reports, it was moving from the southwest over Ireland and was heading for Scotland.
