Panic broke out in Scotland today as reported sightings of a giant ball of fire appeared in the sky over parts of the country.  We have unconfirmed reports that this phenomenon was spotted in the skies over Aberdeen, Dundee and parts of the Highlands.  Some Aberdeen residents  complained of feeling happy and warm, while others  just walked around confused and scared.  In some areas there are reports of people going blind after staring to long at the amazing sight.

    After the brief appearance of this blazing wonder, many citizens started to panic, which led to rioting and some looting of chip shops and off-licences.  Others, meanwhile, got down on their knees and prayed, thanking God for the forthcoming apocalypse.  The emergency services are currently trying to regain control of the situation but are struggling to cope.  One police chief described the scene as “utter pandemonium”.   

    We must urge the populace of Scotland not to panic and stay indoors for the time being.   It's not thought that the strange orb is in anyway dangerous, as long as you don't look directly at it, but as a precaution, please keep all doors and windows shut and avoid the temptation to take your gloves, scarves and thick jackets off.

    The fireball appeared in the sky at 1:23pm and lasted for 1 minute and 19 seconds.  This was in between the rain and drizzle that's been falling for approximately 29 years.  We're also getting unsubstantiated reports that this phenomenon is frequently seen in the skies over many foreign countries.

    We'll be right back with more news on these strange events and we'll have the famous scientist Katie 'Jordan' Price on the line telling us about something she calls “Sunglasses”.
