ST. LOUIS — Residents in the St. Louis area witnessed a light show Monday night after an apparent meteor flashed in the sky.
EarthCam captured video of the fireball as it moved across the St. Louis skyline just before 9 p.m. local time. Then, all of the sudden you can see a massive flash of light brightening the night sky.
Residents in Illinois also reported seeing the meteor.
Another shot of the meteor was captured on a door bell camera in a suburb of St. Louis.
Meteorologists say the object appears to have completely burned up in the atmosphere before reaching the ground.
