Video cameras from Western University captured a fireball in Huron County Thursday night.

UWO Meteor Scientist Peter Brown tweeted several images and videos of the fireball.

He reported that the fireball started near Brussels and ended just offshore over Lake Huron near Kintail.

He said a low velocity and an end height of 33 kilometres suggests small meteorites may have landed, likely in Lake Huron.
