“Mystery fireball lights up sky over

Bangkok”

Asteroid? Balloon? Space junk? Social media in Bangkok, Thailand lit up Monday morning as commuters posted

photos and videos of a mystery fireball that briefly illuminated the capital's sky. The fireball was seen from

various locations throughout the city during the morning rush hour. The object briefly flared up before dying out, streaking toward Earth. Dashcam footage

from across the city was uploaded to social media, some clearly showing the path of the object as it burns up in the clear blue morning sky. "There is a high possibility that the object spotted this morning...is an object from outer space," Saran Poshyachinda, Deputy Director of National Astronomical Research Institute of Thailand, told CNN. "It looks like an asteroid traveling to Earth

and grazing through the air and it turned into a fireball.” From the video and photographic evidence, he

said, he estimated the object burned up about 100 kilometers (62 miles) above the ground.
