A large, realistic dragon model resembling Syrax from HBO’s “House of the Dragon” is spotted flying over Glasgow in the early morning. Multiple outlets report the dragon appears above areas including the River Clyde and causes surprise among commuters and people who see it online. The sighting is linked to promotional activity connected to the lead-up to the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games and to the “House of the Dragon” season-three campaign. One report states the model was inspired by the television series and is life-sized, built to move as it flies. Glasgow Times describes it as an eight-metre-wide, 13kg creation made by a team of about 14 people, taking roughly 3,000 hours to construct, and featuring 23 moving parts and engineering designed for realistic flight. Times of India adds that the dragon model previously featured in a promotional campaign in London. After the initial reaction, the model’s identity is clarified as a Syrax promotional piece rather than an actual creature.
