Aurora Land Fireball

This dazzling fireball blazed across an aurora-filled sky over remote Canada’s Northwest Territories. From the photographer: “One of the brightest fireball I’ve seen. I was leading one of my aurora photography tours when this blasted across the sky over Vee Lake, Yellowknife where it exploded toward the north. It got so bright that I had to close my eyes, just like someone used a flash in front of me. A few minutes later, we could hear a huge explosion sound from the direction of the fireball fell. I am not sure the sound was created by sonic boom or something else.”
