(CNN NEWSOURCE) A bright glowing object flashed across the sky above Scotland on Monday night startling residents.

Video captured by Bill Addison shows a bright blue fireball illuminating the landscape.

Some residents say it caused a loud boom as well.

Robert Massey, deputy executive director for the Royal Astronomical Society, believes it could have been a low-altitude meteor, burning into a "fireball."

The UK’s met office confirmed the event was not weather-related.
