Fireball spotted over south Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) – A bright fireball streaked across the skies of south Louisiana shortly after 5 a.m. Sunday, June 28, generating reports from observers across multiple southern states. Most witnesses reported seeing it in the eastern or southeastern sky, and there is no indication it survived its fiery passage through the atmosphere to reach the ground.
The fireball was captured by multiple cameras in the Sky9 camera network, with the clearest view coming from the camera atop Our Lady of the Lake Hospital on Essen Lane. Other Sky9 cameras did not capture the fireball itself but recorded the bright flash it produced, briefly illuminating the pre-dawn sky.
Meteor streaks across skies, causes bright flash Sunday morning
Early risers across southeast Louisiana were treated to quite a sight on Sunday morning when a brilliant flash of light streaked across the pre-dawn sky. Around 5:00 a.m., Storm Station viewers reported seeing what looked like a large, vibrant green ball with fire trailing behind it followed by a bright flash.
When small space rocks (meteoroids) slam into Earth's atmosphere at high speeds, they create the light streaks we call "shooting stars" or meteors. However, when the incoming object is larger—often over three feet wide—it creates an exceptionally bright streak known as a fireball.
If that fireball ends with a dramatic explosion in the sky, scientists technically call it a bolide, though the two terms are often used interchangeably. These displays are so bright they can be seen across massive areas at night, and on rare occasions, even during the day.

Taking Fireball Shots: Viewer video captures meteor lighting up Louisiana sky
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – A bright “fireball” meteor lit up the sky over parts of southeast Louisiana early Sunday morning, and some home security cameras caught the whole thing on video.
Viewers reported seeing a bright streak and brief flash around 5 a.m. as the object broke apart high in the atmosphere.
A fireball is an exceptionally bright meteor, also know as a piece of space rock, entering Earth’s atmosphere. They’re more common than many people realize.
Meteorologists say thousands of fireballs happen every day, but most appear over the ocean or during daylight, when they go unnoticed.
