T.J. Del Santo has seen it all since joining WPRI-TV in 1997: blizzards, hurricanes, floods, microbursts, tornadoes. And as of Sunday: a fireball in the sky on live TV.

Del Santo said it was "more a matter of luck than anything else" when in a brief moment that lasted less than two seconds, a fireball screamed across the sky high in the atmosphere as he was delivering a forecast on Sunday morning.

"it was an amazing 1-2 seconds caught live on television Sunday morning at about 8:17AM," Del Santo wrote on his WPRI weather blog. A fireball raced across the deep blue sky over Providence, and I watched it as it happened. Look just above the smoke stack about 3 seconds into the video."
