'Fireball' Meteor Seen Over Western Japan

A light show over the skies of Western Japan is caught on camera. People saw a flash of green light race across the sky, and a camera at the Fukuoka airport captured it.

Weather officials received about ten reports of similar sightings.

Experts say it may have been a "fireball" meteor, which is a piece of asteroid that ignites upon entering earth's atmosphere.
