I got a phone call from my parents some 15mins ago, they live near Forfar in Scotland.

They asked me if I could see a bright star flashing in the night sky, looking south east. Well I can see something. Can only describe it as like a tight cluster of stars, it has what appears to be a red flashing light. I thought it was a plane at first.

I’m on Lodge St, and from the back bedroom window looking towards the Coppice. I only have half decent binoculars and a tripod.

Can anyone else see it, maybe someone has a decent telescope. Could it possibly be the Space Station
