Fire Ball lights up the night sky over Japan

Japan – A lucky driver in Japan recently experienced one of those once-in-a-lifetime moments while cruising down the road this week. What started as a routine drive turned into pure cosmic drama when a brilliant meteor (technically a Bolide) came screaming across the sky, exploding in a dazzling burst of light that turned the darkness into near-daylight for a few breathtaking seconds.

The driver only realized the full epicness later: “When I got home and checked the dashcam, it had recorded it… I wonder what it was?” (They now know—space rock party crasher!)

Here’s the jaw-dropping footage just uploaded today:
