RCMP video - massive fireball streak across Northern Alberta sky

On the evening of September 21, 2013, an RCMP officer was on patrol on a highway in Northern Alberta. The cruiser's dashboard camera captured the amazing flash of light as it lit up the entire darkened sky. In an eight-second video shot by Const. Josh Stachow and Const. Kyle Ash on their patrol camera, a flaming ball of light can be seen crossing the sky around 9:30 p.m. The two officers, who say they didn't hear anything as the fireball streaked by, were driving along Highway 35 near the hamlet of Hawk Hills at the time of the sighting. A community astronomer at the Telus World of Science in Edmonton confirmed the display was caused by a meteor streaking through the sky. Manning is about 580 kilometres north of Edmonton.
