- A bright meteor lit up the skies over Scotland around 12:50 a.m. on July 3, 2025, seen from Glasgow to the Outer Hebrides.
- The meteor occurred days before the Delta Aquarid meteor shower peak and likely came from space debris entering the Earth's atmosphere.
- Many witnesses reported a bright orange fireball with a trailing contrail that ended in a loud bang which shook houses in some areas.
- A video taken in Maryhill by David showed the meteor streaking the southern sky and has nearly 20,000 views, exemplifying public interest.
- Astrophysicist Alfredo Carpineti noted estimating the meteor's size is difficult but tracking by the UK Fireball Alliance may help find fragments later.
