Doorbell and security camera footage captured a meteor lighting up Colorado’s skies in the early morning hours of Sunday.
The spectacle was spotted all over Colorado and a few other places in the United States, as recorded by the American Meteor Society.
Fox News Digital has obtained footage by weather enthusiast Edward Hurrell showing the fiery meteor around 3:30 a.m. flying across the sky in Broomfield, about a 25-minute drive north of Denver.

Per NASA, fireballs and “bolides” are exceptionally bright meteors that are spectacular enough to be seen over a wide area.
Objects that cause fireballs usually aren’t large enough to survive passage through Earth’s atmosphere intact.
