Experience Level 1/5
Remarks I was out looking at Jupiter, Mars and Orion which were bright in a clear sky, I looked to see what was towards the west and seen what looked like a burning ball across the sky. It only lasted 3-4 seconds and vanished but covered a significant distance. It went from a point of light to a large glow before disappearing in the direction of Bonnybridge/Denny/Cumbernauld
