A suspected meteor that appeared in the sky above Detroit, Michigan, has been captured by CCTV cameras and dash-cams. Residents of the metropolitan Detroit area reported seeing a bright light and what sounded like thunder at around 8.08pm on Tuesday. Footage of the bright light was captured by one driver, and the music on the radio (Late Goodbye by Poets of the Fall) just happened to sync perfectly with the celestial event. If it was a meteor, despite the bright light and reports of people’s houses shaking, it wasn’t actually dangerous. A meteor is just a small piece of rock that comes close enough to the Earth to enter its atmosphere.
