(Nov. 22) - Canadians and scientists are buzzing about a spectacular fireball that streaked across the western skies, an event that was captured on video.
Most believe Thursday's stunning show was caused by a meteor. "An event of this size, this brightness ... this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime type of event, maybe twice," sad Christopher Herd, a science professor at the University of Alberta.
CBC News said hundreds of people reported seeing the fireball, and scientists are now on the hunt for meteorite fragments that likely hit Earth.
Video of the event shows a brilliant fireball in the sky. A camera in a police cruiser in Edmonton, Alberta, captured it as it descend rapidly and then erupts, lighting up the street below.
"It was just like an overgrown firecracker coming back to Earth," said one eyewitness, who reported seeing the meteor break into pieces while it was in the sky.
Said another woman who saw it: "It was like a streak of lightning went through the air."
