Weather of Arabia - An amateur photographer from Idaho, USA, captured a stunning video that shows a meteor entering the Earth's atmosphere and illuminating the sky like a huge fireball.

(Photographer Jordan Rajsdahl captured this video on July 3 with a surface-mounted camera designed to detect meteors.)

 

The video shows a meteor entering the Earth's atmosphere and turning into a huge fireball that managed to light up the sky of the entire neighborhood for a while.

 

The phenomenon of fireball occurs when the diameter of the meteorite is so large that it does not burn completely after entering the Earth's atmosphere, so parts of it remain and collide with the Earth.
