A meteor has been captured ‘bursting through the sky’ above a Scots motorway on a car's dashcam.
The footage was captured around 8.05pm on January 26.
Donna McTaggart said a "massive white ball" appeared in the sky while she was driving on the M8 close to Glasgow Airport.
She told our sister title, The Herald: “It burst through the sky as a massive white ball becoming a streak with burning red flying off it and showing the green glow all around it. Stunning.”

Another person who spotted the meteor on Tiree tweeted: “getting multiple reports from North West Scotland or a meteor. It was bright green about 15 mins ago. I saw from Tiree.”
