Incredible video of a falling meteor as seen from Edmonton:
The meteor eventually crashed near the Alberta-Saskatchewan border. Here another video from the CBC and AP:
From CTV:
Hundreds of residents of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba reported seeing the bright light, which was also captured on security cameras.
The stunning images show the sky light up as a bright point of light blazes into view, then disappears over the horizon.
Paul Delaney, an astronomer from York University, said the object was a meteor that was "cruising through the upper atmosphere, giving us a wonderful lightshow, telling us of course that you should always be outside looking up."
He said the meteor may have disintegrated prior to reaching the ground. But if it is found, it could offer a fascinating look into the history of the solar system.
