Dragon spotted in the sky. (Images via X) Glasgow residents got the shock of their lives this week when a massive, winged creature banked and flapped its way across the city skyline. Video of the sighting spread fast online, and for a few confused minutes, plenty of people genuinely thought Westeros had landed in Scotland. It hadn’t. What they were watching was a jaw-dropping animatronic dragon, flown deliberately, in broad daylight, for two mornings straight. The “dragon” is a 3D flying model of Syrax, the mount belonging to Rhaenyra Targaryen in House of the Dragon . It's a bird. It's a plane. It's … a dragon? Footage showed an animatronic dragon from the Game of Thrones prequel flying above Glasgow, Scotland, ahead of the 2026 Commonwealth Games, a 10-day sports event. pic.twitter.com/cd0aqShPGB — ABC News (@ABC) July 23, 2026 The Game of Thrones Dragon Behind The Sighting The Xavier Throne.
