New video shows the moment a bright object blazed through Pittsburgh skies on Thursday evening.
In a clip from his doorbell camera, Phil Haddad caught the bright light as it streaked over the Pennsylvania city.
"I don’t often tweet, but when I do it’s because I captured a meteor on my doorbell cam," he tweeted.
The local National Weather Service office also shared a video of what it called a "meteor/fireball."
