Fireball in the sky.

[Commander Wallace]

A brilliant meteor falling to earth was captured on a dash cam of a police car and witnessed by the police officer himself. The meteor was over Maine traveling Northeast at about 12:50 A.M local time today.

The meteor was visible over the north eastern part of the U.S from New jersey to Quebec, Canada.
