Meteor in Scotland – level 1

07-03-2016 07:00

This news is from Scotland. Something unusual happens in the evening. There is a flash of light. Everything goes white for a moment.

People see this and film it. They put the pictures and videos on the Internet. They talk about it. Some people say that this is the end of the world.

However, it isn’t the end. The bright thing in the sky is just a meteor. It isn’t big. It is just 10 centimetres across.

Difficult words: flash (a quick moment), bright (strong), across (from side to side).

You can read the original story and watch the video in the Level 3 section.

What would you think if you saw a meteor like this?
