Published in Weird News

NEW YORK (UPI) -- A small plane pilot strapped a GoPro to the outside of his aircraft and captured footage while flying over New York of a fireball streaking across the night sky.

Mike Grossman posted a video to YouTube of the fireball streaking across the sky while he was flying his Piper Archer 1,500 feet over the Hudson River.

The fireball, an especially bright meteor, was likely the same one recorded at the same time -- about 6:16 p.m. Jan. 30 -- by a motorist's dashboard camera in Virginia.

 

The American Meteor Society logged several hundred reports of a fireball Saturday night from as far away as southern Michigan and Ontario.
