Fireball Meteor Over Groningen

This is a picture of a meteor that was as bright as the full moon. The meteor was a fireball meteor, which is a name given to very bright meteors that sometimes explode and visibly fragment. It left a visible trail and created rumbling sounds and sonicbooms, which is very rare. Fireball meteors are uncommonly observed because they often fall over oceans or uninhabited areas.
