A Dazzling Meteor Just 'Video Bombed' a Volcanic Eruption

A bright green fireball was filmed seemingly crossing Mount Mayon during its eruption in the Philippines.

Footage from livestreams, CCTV, and dashcams captured the rare event from multiple angles.

Officials and local astronomers said it was likely a meteor that burned up in the atmosphere, not something that hit the ground.

The coincidence is helping scientists examine both meteor behavior and real-time natural hazard footage.
