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 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.”

Other sightings of the meteor were reported across the west coast of Scotland that same evening.
One person tweeted: “Saw a huge meteor in the west from Bishopton, Scotland. It seemed greenish and continued below the horizon. Anyone else see it? Brightest I've ever seen.”
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.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
