Hi, I live in Airdrie, scotland and hav seen what I believe to be a low passing comet or meteor at around 21:45 today headin south. It was a large burning orb (more teardrop shaped), white/yellow in colour tainted with green and had a long tail. It caught my eye due its size and speed. My partner, son and nephew all seen this and it seemed to disappear, possibly passing behind think layer of cloud. Is anyone able to tell me if this was an expected comet/meteor? If so is it named? This is the first time we've seen anything like this so we're a little excited. Any clarification you offer would be appreciated.

Thanks
