City buses caught a massive meteor on camera as it hurtled across the sky over Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Saturday night.
Milwaukee County Transit System buses that captured the strange sight were traveling north at approximately 5:45 p.m. local time, USA Today noted. The giant meteor looked like a glowing fireball and only appeared for a couple of seconds.

Multiple witnesses, including meteorologist Tom Wachs, spotted the meteor on Nov. 23.
That was one heck of a meteor at 5:43pm tonight. Saw a huge fireball (also known as a bolide) looking NE from Bayside, WI (Milwaukee). Anyone else see it?

We saw it while over in West Allis. Quite the sight! (And thanks for confirming it. My first thought was to check the Milwaukee weather scene here on Twitter. 😎👍)

I saw it driving on north I43 toward east troy. I thought it was a plane or helicopter that crashed! Glad I found out it wasn’t!
