>...METEORITE HAS MAN SEEING STARS By Michael Alexander The Courier (United Kingdom) January 31, 2003AN EAST NEUK man was still rubbing his eyes in bewilderment yesterday after seeing what he reckons was a meteorite blazing across the early morning sky. The man was walking his dog near Kingsbarns around 7am on Tuesday when a bright object arced across the sky at great speed, creating enough light, he said, to illuminate his dog in the dawn gloom. The man told The Courier, "It seemed to come from miles up. It came across the sky and I could see my dog with the light. I took a sighting through the trees to give me a rough line of where I might search. I just wondered if anyone else had reported anything?"
In fact, the East Neuk is an area of eastern Fife, Scotland (not England), across the Firth of Forth from Edinburgh. Kingsbarns is a village about 10 km ESE of St Andrews, the Home of Golf. The Courier is a newspaper published a little further north in Dundee, across the Firth of Tay.
