An unusual bright object was spotted falling out of the sky over Glasgow's west end yesterday.
Glasgow University Maria was on Victoria Crescent Road in Hyndland at around 9am on Monday when she spotted the strange body of light as she quickly took out her phone to capture the baffling sight.
Speaking to Glasgow Live, she said: "I was walking down the long road and I was looking at the same point in the sky the whole time and that's when I noticed it.

"It looks really weird, it doesn't look like a plane because it was falling really quickly, straight down.
"It also didn't look like a plane because usually you would see a really long white streak and I couldn't see the shape of a plane. All I could see was the white strike, I couldn't see the centre of it.
"It looked really fast. I'm not usually suspicious about these types of things but after looking at it for a second it seemed like something I'd never seen before."
Following her encounter with the unexplainable streak of light, Maria made her way to the university library where she tried to do some digging. However, despite her best efforts she was left with more questions than answers.
She explained: "I looked it up on flight radar to find out which flights were above the city.
"I looked up 9.04am, which is when I took the video, and there were only a couple of planes in the sky, one of them was going to Zurich so obviously it couldn't be that one because it looked like it was falling straight down really quickly. I think the other one was going to Stanstead."
Maria has never considered herself to be an alien enthusiast, in fact she is very much a sceptic, but the event has left her dumbfounded.
She said: "It's not like I'm a person who has seen this and watches a bunch of those paranormal activity things, I'm not interested in that sort of thing at all.
"They say sometimes when you believe in something you start to see it and if you don't believe you won't. I guess I'm one of those people who don't really believe but I've still seen something I can't explain."
