LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- For the second time in less than two months, a fireball meteor in the night sky dazzled people in several states, and it was caught on camera in Kentucky.
It happened around 11:36 p.m. Thursday.
WDRB Chief Meteorologist Marc Weinberg said he actually saw it in person, and wrote about it on his Facebook page: "It was massive!!! Fragmented as it fell from overhead toward the north with an incredible green color. I can’t believe I just saw that!!!!"
Weinberg also posted a video on his X account showing the meteor that was sent to him from viewer Kaitlyn Ann

The meteor was seen over several other states, including Indiana, Ohio, and Illinois, Weinberg said on X.
Another fireball meteor was captured on doorbell cameras in the early morning hours of Aug. 2.
According to the American Meteor Society, fireball meteors are generally brighter than magnitude -4, which is about the same brightness of the planet Venus as seen in the morning or evening sky.
