Mental Footage Of Bright Meteor Ripping Through The Night Over America [Video]

Everyone loves a good meteor sighting, and folks along the eastern seaboard of the US were treated to a blinder last night.

It was a night (or early morning) to remember over in northeastern United States, a massive fireball streaking through the sky and providing quite a show for those on the ground.
