Astronomer says fireball that lit up the Alberta sky on Wednesday was a meteor
EDMONTON — A fireball that lit up the evening sky over parts of Alberta was a meteor.
Frank Florian, an astronomer at the TELUS World of Science in Edmonton, says the meteor streaked across the northeast part of the province on Wednesday.
Corbet Kratko says he captured an image of the ribbon of fire with his dashboard camera as he was driving in the city.
In Fort McMurray, homeowner Khristine Scott Lavery had video of the meteor that was taken by a camera attached to her doorbell.
