Dashcam footage has revealed the moment a fireball lit up the sky over Thailand on Monday morning.
The impressive spectacle was difficult to miss as the fireball blazed downwards from the heavens and exploded with a bright flash just a short distance from the ground in broad daylight.

The moment was caught on camera thanks to the dashcams of several passing motorists.

Authorities have yet to issue an official confirmation on the nature and origins of the fireball however it is generally believed that it was a meteor burning up in the Earth's atmosphere.

Nice indeed. Whenever I hear "Bangkok" I think of that Confucius line. ...and I keep thinking of that Murray Head song from around 30 years ago.

I have had an identical experience in the 1980s. Suddenly, during the dark evening, a streak came down vertically before me from overhead. It exploded at eye level - I live at forty metres - and at a distance of circa two hundred meters or less from me, above a highway, In my estimation there was no use in looking for meteorite debris, besides the danger of exploring a highway, so I never acted upon it. I did write my observation down on a piece of paper, though, and that must still be somewhere in my room.

Greenish colour is not uncommon with meteors and is probably as a result of nickel content. Here's a link...

I heard about this happening! Dang, I wish stuff like this would happen over here, lol. Yea I'd love to see one. I once traveled several hundred km to see a total eclipse of the sun, and it was well worth it, but you can't travel somewhere to see fireballs. You just have to be lucky.
