A meteor was seen burning up in earth's atmosphere over Alberta and even Saskatchewan, and it was captured on camera.
The fireball in the early morning sky was seen by many across the province, ending at around 6:30 am on Monday.

Dr. Chris Herd, a professor and curator of meteors at the University of Alberta, said that the meteor was a rock that had come through the atmosphere, as all meteors do.
"It means that some kind of a rock has come through the atmosphere and the outside is heated up to give us that bright fireball that people have caught on their doorbell cameras and other places," he said on local radio on Monday.
