Did a meteor come crashing through the earth's atmosphere over northern Alberta overnight?
Peace River residents took to social media Friday to report what they had seen in the night sky shortly after midnight.
Erika Florence posted on Facebook that she was on her way home from Grande Prairie when she saw what looked like a shooting star.
"But then it got bigger and it exploded mid air and lit up the sky," she wrote.
"It was something I've never seen before."
Jackie Lee, who started the post on Peace River's General Forum page, told Postmedia that she was outside in her backyard in Peace River with her dog when she heard a
"noise like I have never heard before in the air.""It sounded close by, like maybe somewhere else in town," she wrote in a message.
