Fireballs
He said he looked up into the sky at around 10.10pm and saw the meteor flying through the sky.
Umit said: "It was amazingI just went out for a cigarette and the next minute I saw it shooting across the sky.
"I'm a bit into astronomy so I was 100% sure it was a meteor, which means it will dissolve before it hits the ground."
"It it the first time I have seen anything like that - it was quite spooky but nice to see as well."
An ABC11 viewer recorded the video Thursday night while driving on Raleigh Road in Wilson toward Airport Boulevard.
In the top right of the screen, a bright light can be seen entering the frame and streaking toward the horizon for about three seconds.
Asteroid 2010 C01, measuring roughly 400 to 850 feet (120 to 260 meters) in size, will fly by late on September 13, followed by 2000 QW7 at 950 to 2,100 feet (290 to 650 meters) in the early hours of September 14.
"Both of these asteroids are passing at about 14 lunar distances from the Earth, or about 3.5 million miles away, but small asteroids pass by Earth this close all the time,"said NASA planetary defense officer Lindley Johnson.
While most of the meteor appears to have burned up in the atmosphere, a piece as large as a "fist or a soccer ball" likely ended up in the North Sea.
The American Meteor Society confirmed the meteor sighting, which took place Saturday around 10 p.m.
The meteor was seen here in Texas as well as several other states, including New Mexico and Louisiana.
The majority of sightings were reported from the Central Texas area, according to AMS.
Meteors like the one spotted Saturday are often referred to as fireballs, AMS said. They are common events but can often be hard to see in city lights.
The video, shown below, was captured by K. Palivec Saturday night.
First there was 'Oumuamua. Now we might be in store for another interstellar flyby, this time by the recently discovered comet A/2019 Q1. Gennady Borisov captured the object on August 30, 2019, at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory when it was about 5.5 astronomical units (a.u.) from the Sun. Unlike 'Oumuamua, which was discovered well after perihelion, the new comet is approaching the plane of the solar system and will reach perihelion on July 24, 2020 at a distance of 4.96 a.u., about the distance between Jupiter and the Sun.
But it's still early. Don't be surprised if these dates change as more observations come in.
What sets A/2019 Q1 apart from nearly every other comet is the eccentricity of its orbit. Eccentricity measures how much an orbit deviates from a perfect circle, which has an eccentricity of 0. Elliptical orbits, typical of planets, asteroids and comets, have eccentricities between 0 and 1. Parabolas are equal to 1, and an eccentricity greater than 1 indicates a hyperbolic orbit.
It was caught on one of the LTV webcams in the Latvian Television building.
StarSpace observatorija noticed a fireball burning in the Rīga sky, seen for about 5 to 6 seconds and burning out mutely with a blue-green flame and a long tail.

A sonic boom-like noise is baffling people in Glasgow after it was heard over the Southside.
The loud boom was captured on video my a concerned resident around 3:17pm, but the source remains unexplained.
Rob McDowall, a resident in Maxwell Park, in the Southside of the city tweeted around 4pm asking: "did anyone else hear a massive boom in Glasgow? Sounded like a sonic boom."
He went on to share CCTV footage of the mystery bang, prompting one woman to say she thought it was a gas explosion in nearby Rutherglen.
