A meteor shower sparked fears a large aircraft was crashing into the sea off the Hebrides.
The Maritime and Coastguard Agency in Stornoway received dozens of calls on Friday night about a fireball falling from the sky. Lifeboat crews in the Western Isles were alerted as emergency services prepared for a large scale disaster. However, the cause of the fireball was linked to Kappa Cygnid meteor shower which peaked at the weekend.
