....while travelling in the car about half past 5, with my daughter. She pointed out, though, that it was travelling laterally and not vertically.

Wonder if it was this???

I believe the Leonids hit the atmosphere pretty fast, hence you get big fireballs.

Are you sure you're in Scotland?

Judging by seeing the Scottish team get gubbed 3-1 tonight, yes, I'm pretty sure I'm in Scotland.
