Australian motorists were wowed by the sight of the space debris on April 21, 2025
A bright green ball of fire that caused a sonic boom and lit up the Queensland night sky overnight was most likely a meteor, says an astrophysicist.
Experts say it coincided with the Lyrids meteor shower but the ball of light — seen from Queensland to southern NSW — appeared to be a different celestial event.
University of Southern Queensland astrophysicist Professor Jonti Horner said the event was likely caused by space debris: either a fragment of an asteroid or a comet.
He said it was unlikely to be made by humans because of the speed at which it travelled across the night sky.
We received 5 reports about a fireball seen over Brandenburg, Kauno apskritis, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Pomeranian Voivodeship and Schleswig-Holstein on Sunday, April 20th 2025 around 21:19 UT.
A bright object, initially appearing to be a meteorite, lit up the skies over Mexico's capital at about 3am on Wednesday, stretching over plains, volcanoes and small towns.
Videos of a ball of fire shooting over the Latin American country and dissolving in a burst of light over Mexico City struck awe in many — and quickly became the fuel for memes circulating on social media.
"No, the meteorite that exploded last night isn't an excuse to talk to your ex," someone wrote on X, over a GIF of dinosaurs walking through a meteorite shower.
Soon, photographs of the fireball edited with cartoon characters and political jokes flooded the Internet.
Scientists across Mexico said that the object that rocketed across the skies was a bolide — the fiery phenomenon of a rock from space burning up completely in the atmosphere.

The moment the object smashed through the roof was captured on surveillence footage.
They've seen all kinds of wrecks, but this one may be out of this world.
A New Jersey auto body shop owner was left stunned after a mysterious object fell from the sky and crashed through the ceiling with a large and fiery bang.
Surveillance videos from inside S&L Automotive and surrounding homes in Magnolia reveal the moment an object hits the roof of the car shop at around 2:30 a.m. on Wednesday, with a fireball bursting through the ceiling and exploding inside, ABC 6 reported.
"You eventually see a giant fireball come through the ceiling, and everything comes flying down. The roof with it," said shop owner Sebastian Leonardo.
A very bright greenish bolide crossed the skies of all of Italy at around 9:00 pm today, April 12, 2025. We have received many reports of sightings (from north to south of Italy).
Don't panic, because it is a so-called bolide, that is, blocks of rocky or ferrous material (a brighter meteor) or, in rare cases, the fragment (or fragments) of an object of anthropogenic origin. The color is given by the chemical composition (if it were confirmed to be green, today's would have a prevalence of magnesium).
With reference to the rocky or ferrous material, a bolide is a meteor with a high brightness: it is a term commonly used but it is not scientific, since astronomers do not catalog meteors based on their brightness.
