>>The incident, which took place about one mile south of Penicuik  near to
Ravensneuk Farm, lasted about ten minutes from 8.30am on Monday  morning.<<

>>Professor John Peacock, of the Institute for  Astronomy at the University
of Edinburgh, said: "It is probably a meteor  fireball - quite a rare and
spectacular example, and well worth  publishing."<<
 
Lasting ten whole minutes? Could have been a speeding weather balloon?  :O)  
Actually, my money is on the contrails of an airliner before I even  think it 
could have been a meteor. If he fudged the time frame some, due to  
excitement,  could have been an entering satellite also...But a meteor, no  way.
