A fireball illuminated the night sky over a New York airport — and according to the American Meteor Society, dozens reported the astral sight.
The AMS shared a video on its Twitter account showing a ball of light traveling from one end of the dark, night sky to the other.
The non-profit scientific organization says the fireball was caught over Elmira Corning Regional Airport Tuesday at around 2:35 UTC.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the organization received 87 reports about this fireball which was apparently seen over the Northeast, including Connecticut, New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
A fireball is a “meteor which is brighter than any planet or star,” according to AMS.
