Some observant Nova Scotians were treated to an unexpected light show Sunday that left many in awe.
Reports of sightings were spread over a large area, with similar descriptions, leading many to think it was a meteorite.
Andrea Thompson of Onslow had just arrived home with her husband and daughter at 6 p.m.
"We were still in the car and facing toward Truro Heights," she said. "We all saw what looked like a massive fireball high in the sky. It was definitely something that was on fire and it burned up before 6:01."
The show lasted about 20 seconds.
