There were several reports Sunday night and early Monday morning of a fireball lighting up the sky, including right here in Kansas.
Zackery Cheney submitted the video to Eyewitness News that he captured Sunday night near Andale.
Cheney said he was northbound on Andale Road, about four miles south of Andale when his dash cam caught what appears to be a ball of light shoot across the sky then dissolve.

Kota Kinabalu: The mysterious explosion heard by many in Sipitang, Labuan, Lawas (Sarawak), and parts close to these areas on Sunday (Jan 31) could have been a sonic boom or a meteorite which exploded in mid-air.
The Astronomical Society of Brunei Darussalam (PABD) said it received numerous reports from Bruneians who also heard the mysterious loud noise.
The PABD then issued a notice seeking eyewitness accounts of the phenomenon, which is believed to have occurred at about 11am.
Some Bruneians later shared their experiences and uploaded blurry pictures of what appears to be a fireball trailing smoke to PABD's Facebook page.

Our colleague Mario from Vidilab, found himself on the highway at 3:50 p.m. On some 20 minutes drive from Karlovac to Zagreb, the dash cam camera of his car recorded a nice meteor crash, as you can see in this video.
There was no explosion which is sometimes created when a slightly larger space rock explodes in a collision with the atmosphere. It seems that the meteor (or meteroid) did not hit the ground, which would allow it to be called a meteorite and probably evaporated in the atmosphere, but if you find a suspicious pebble in that location or see a crater on the ground, you may come into possession of a space body.

Residents in Buleleng, Bali, and its surrounding areas were shocked by a loud boom on Sunday morning, January 24. The earthquake sensor of the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) recorded it as an anomaly.
The agency's coordinator for earthquake and tsunami mitigation, Daryono, confirmed that many questioned the mysterious bang. Some were shocked that the loud boom rattled windows. Some also claimed they saw a meteor falling in the north or Bali sea.
"It goes viral on social media as many report loud rumbles, especially those in northern Bali," said Daryono on Sunday, January 24.
One of three BMKG's seismographs in Singaraja detected the tremor at 10:27 Central Indonesian Time (WITA) for about 20 seconds. "After being analyzed, the vibration was not caused by an earthquake," he concluded.
Thanks to a lucky camera position, the following video captures a fireball flashing over Sokorópátka.
