As I was stopping at the traffic, my son and I saw a fast green meteor falling from the sky, and burning up until it disappeared.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy dashcam, which was continuously recording, caught the meteor event and I feel so luck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to International Meteor Oganisation (IMO), fireballs are meteors that appear brighter than normal. Rapid falling meteor fragments larger than a grain of sand (about 1 millimeter) have the capability to produce a bright flash when encountering the atmosphere above. In fact, fireballs occur every day all over the Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to Mr Christopher Ng for the report and video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Did you see the fireball event?
