Another fiery object was seen falling in the sky near Sudbury during the weekend.
Susan Stone and her 13-year-old daughter, Taylor, spotted what they think was a fireball at about 1:30 a.m. on Sunday [Mar 16].
"My first thought was it was a meteorite or a plane going down. The colours were just amazing," Susan said.
"I'm quite sure, actually, that it was a fireball because there was a trail and it was very vivid."
Last week, Science North fielded about a dozen calls from residents who saw fiery objects in the sky at about 1:30 p.m. on March 10.
Susan and Taylor were driving to Sudbury after a hockey tournament in Sault Ste. Marie early Sunday when they saw a flaming ball.
Susan, who lives in Ottawa, and Taylor, who lives in Sudbury, had just passed Webbwood when they saw the ball of light.
"I've never seen anything like it," said Susan, adding it was off to the left of the road, which would put it northeast of Webbwood.
"There was kind of like a tail hanging behind it. It was all different colours. It was really bright and vibrant," said Taylor, a student at R.L. Beattie.
Taylor saw colours such as navy blue, violet, lime green, red, yellow, orange and aqua blue. The tail was more colourful than the body itself, she said.
"It lasted for about five or 10 seconds. It wasn't just going straight across, it was going downwards," Taylor said.
