Fireball Turns Night Into Day as It Blazes Across Sky in Lapland

Tony Bateman was sitting at home in Lapland, Finland, on November 16 when he heard a loud bang. When he played back video from a camera he’d set up to record the northern lights, he saw this incredible footage of a fireball lighting up the night.Jyrki Manninen, a physicist at the University of Oulu, said the object was likely a meteor, although he did not rule out the possibility that it could have been a piece of space trash, according to a local report.
