Event into space in Canada on Thursday, 26 March, 2015 at 04:44 (04:44 AM) UTC.

A streaking ball of white flame resulting from a meteorite fall over Canada’s East Coast Tuesday night lit up the sky over Nova Scotia and this spectacular display was caught on video by Nova Scotia Webcams. Dubbed as a “random” event caused by an above-average chunk of space rock the fireball was seen over Nova Scotia at approximately 9 p.m. The space debris left a trailing a white streak of fire across the sky before it flared into a ball of white flame eventually disappearing from sight. People took to social media soon after the bright streak of light was seen to talk about it. According to reports, the phenomenon was seen by people in the Annapolis Valley, Antigonish, Sydney and even some on Prince Edward Island. “Fireballs happen all the time,” astronomer David Lane told CBC. “There’s something like 100 tonnes of stuff that hits the Earth every day from space, but [in] Nova Scotia, or I should say the Maritimes, there’s only been one meteorite ever found on the ground.”

A bright “ball of fire” was spotted above New Brunswick and Nova Scotia early Tuesday morning. Steve Betts of Halifax said on Twitter he was driving towards the airport at 5:07 a.m. when he spotted “something fall out of the sky in red flames.” “Whatever it was left a trail of red flame then turned green and disappeared. I’m guessing it wasn’t a plane but maybe a meteorite?” he wrote.
