- description: Reports of a “huge” white flash and even the sound of an explosion seen and heard across Scotland last night have got everyone talking on social media. The sighting caused people from Inverness to Aberdeen to dial 999, and this morning there’s speculation about whether it was a meteor burning up and exploding in the atmosphere. The bright flash in the sky was caught on dashcams and CCTV. Jenni Morrison was driving home from work on the A944 from Westhill to Alford at 6.45pm when she spotted the fireball light up the sky. She told Sky News: "I thought what the hell was that! My son said it was a meteorite. It was like a light switch going on and off. Very surreal moment. "I knew it wasn't lightning and it was kind-of scary and amazing at the same time."
