video | Watch the moment a flaming meteor crossed the sky of Riyadh last night

Weather of Arabia - Surveillance cameras and cameras of a number of photography enthusiasts in the Riyadh region monitored an astronomical event represented by the crossing of a meteor and its burning in the sky of the region.

And the specialist in physical astronomy, Mulham Hindi, explained - through his Twitter account - that the object that was seen in the sky of Riyadh and a loud sound was heard after it, the circulating video and the testimony of witnesses indicate that it is a natural object (meteor), especially that we are in the days of the Gemini meteors.

He added that what was seen is called a "fireball", which is like a meteor but larger, so it emits a higher light and explodes in the atmosphere due to the heat of friction.
