A man’s early winter morning mission to take out the garbage in Bettendorf, Iowa, on January 20, took an unexpected turn when a meteor soared across the sky.

This home security footage shows Bill Morrissey wheeling a bin down his driveway at around 6:47 am. The fireball zooms across the sky and disappears behind a house across the street. Morrissey pauses for a moment before returning up the driveway followed closely by his dogs.

“It lasted only a few seconds in duration,” he told Storyful. “It was bright and dramatic.”
