Many have taken to social media overnight to share their reports of the occurrence and debate exactly what they had witnessed.

In an incredible case of 'right place, right time' one of the men happened to be recording just as the 'fireball' passed over the city. The footage shows a bright light travelling through the clouds at speed with the cameraman stating:"That's a meteor or something."Another video shared on Twitter appears to show the same 'fireball' flying over rooftops in Motherwell at the same time.
