Reporter captures meteor near miss during live

TV reporter Jay O’Brien was midway through a Facebook Live broadcast on Monday night about a senior housing complex when a meteor suddenly shot across the sky.

“Oh my gosh, what is that in the sky? Woah! Okay. Big piece of flash in the sky just then,” he said.

The meteor rocketed towards earth around 10pm on Monday night. What looked like a fireball streaking across the sky was captured by dashcam and security cameras which were later shared on social media by residents from West Palm Beach to Miami.
