A New Jersey police officer was greeted with a stunning—albeit brief—view of the meteor
A New Jersey police officer on night patrol has enjoyed the rare moment a huge fireball streaked across the night sky.
The video, taken on Dec. 2 by the Township of Hamilton Police dashcam, shows the meteor streak across the road before disappearing behind a row of trees.
The meteor sighting was confirmed by the American Meteor Society, which said it received hundreds of reports of the fireball from dozens of states in the Northeast.
