| Experience Level | 2/5 |
| Remarks | It happened very quickly, and I assume it was a bolide. The sun had set about 30 minutes ago, so the sky way still fairly bright. In Glasgow at this time of year we never leave astronomical twilight. It was a lot brighter than the moon. |

| Remarks | There were two bursts, about 1 second apart, if there was fragmentation it didn't appear to be very large. The second explosion looked about as big as the first, but there was no trails or anything afterwards. |
