A Scots dad was left stunned after a 'meteorite' shot through the sky above his head. Allan MacLean Strang had been clearing snow from his car in Dunbeg, near Oban in Argyll and Bute, when his wife randomly decided to film him at 8.20am on Tuesday.
The dad-of-three had left the house early to scrape the icy elements from his vehicle after heavy snowfall from the night before. But when 28-year-old wife Gemma watched the clip back, she was dumbfounded when to see an illuminated object tearing through the clouds.
Allan, 36, told the Record: "My wife randomly filmed me as she quite often does for a laugh in case I made a meal out of clearing the snow off the car. She came running out to show me the recording when she realised she'd captured the meteor. Total fluke! I was surprised as I obviously didn't expect to see the phenomenon."
The video shows a glimmering object gliding through the sky as Allan tends to his car. Despite the being slowed down for effect, the grey-coloured 'meteor' is shown to be shooting at an excessive speed. And it isn't the first time the father has reported witnessing outer-space activity from the area before.
Allan continued: "We have seen them in Oban before. We sometimes take the kids out late at night to a lesser light-polluted area to watch shooting stars."
In September, the Record told how hundreds of residents in Scotland were left in disbelief after a 'meteor' changed colour and passed through the skies. Sightings throughout the country took place in West Lothian, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire and even in Ireland.
