Slow-moving fireball over Scottish skies keeps experts guessing

[smp]

From CNN:
"(CNN) - Hundreds of people across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern parts of England spotted an unusual fireball lighting up the night sky Wednesday.

It was unclear whether it was a meteor or a piece of space debris, said Aine O'Brien, a doctoral student at the University of Glasgow and a member of the UK Fireball Alliance, which tracks meteor sightings. The fireball was visible in the sky for 10 to 20 seconds -- an unusually long period of time for a meteor -- but the way the object fragmented in the night sky suggested it was a space rock."
