A man’s doorbell camera captured a fireball flashing across the sky Saturday night.
The eerie object is believed to be a meteor that moved so fast it sparked a sonic boom as it fell to earth.
“Caught a meteor last night on the Ubiquiti cam,” Pickerington, Ohio, resident Kristopher Maki posted on Facebook.
“We were laying in bed winding down for the evening and heard a loud sonic boom.
A doorbell cam at Kristofer Maki’s home in Pickerington, Ohio, captured a flash of light in the sky. Kristofer Maki /Facebook “If you were in Pickerington and heart it around 10:35, this was it. Turn up the volume on this one.”

The sighting was one of several that lit up social media outside Columbus, WSYX-TV News reported.
The American Meteor Society has not listed the incident yet, the outlet said.
