A video shot in southern Ontario shows the moment the meteor flew through the night sky early Saturday morning.

The meteor, named #C8FF042, was about one meter in diameter, according to the European Space Agency (ESA).

“A one-meter object crashed into the air above Niagara Falls, creating a safe fireball,” officials wrote on social media Saturday morning.

The agency says it’s the sixth time in history that a global asteroid warning has captured the object “pre-impact”.

Alex Tinsley of Burlington, Ontario, captured the meteor video at 3:26 am on Saturday.

In Toronto, Earthcam’s ‘tower view’ camera captured the meteor.

What was that boom at 3:23?
First, the light from the helicopter coming into the window, then boom?
I can still feel it in my chest!#Hamont
