Green meteor' in Edinburgh sky
Observers have reported a meteor over Edinburgh, after a "very fast" bright green light was seen travelling across the sky towards East Lothian.
Witnesses said it happened just after 2230 BST on Monday and was as fast as a low-flying jet.
The fireball lasted about five seconds before burning out.
Rob Ritchie, of North Berwick, said he saw it while travelling along the A1 moving towards the Lammermuir Hills in a south easterly direction.
Another eyewitness, Chris Montroy, from Edinburgh, said that looking from his window, which faces Arthur's Seat, he could see an orange streak which turned into a bright green light.
