Awesome footage of a meteorite crashing towards earth in the skies above Montreal, Canada.

The video, filmed on May 17, shows the particularly large meteorite flying through the sky causing a bright flash.

The filmer later wrote online: "I work as a truck driver for a live poultry transportation company and on Tuesday May 17 2016 at 1248am,I was waiting for the loading of my truck at Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur, on Montreal South Shore, Quebec (Canada)."

"I was talking on the phone with a friend, when suddenly, a light in the sky caught my eye," he continued.

"I quickly realized that it was a meteorite, a very large meteorite.

"After a few seconds, I realized that my dashboard camera (dashcam) was on, so it was filming.

"I immediately saved the video and in the morning, I uploaded the video on YouTube and shared it on social media.

"Many people say they have seen the meteorite and people even talk about it on the radio."

I work as a truck driver for a live poultry transportation company. On Tuesday, May 17th, 2016 at 12:48 a.m., I was waiting for the loading of my truck at Saint-Jacques-le-Mineur, on Montreal South Shore, Quebec (Canada). I was talking on the phone with a friend, when suddenly, a light in the sky caught my eye. I quickly realized that it was a meteorite, a very large meteorite! After a few seconds, I realized that my dashboard camera (dashcam) was on, so it was filming. I immediately saved the video. In the morning, I uploaded the video on YouTube and shared it on social medias. Many people say they have seen the meteorite and people even talk about it on the radio.
