A bright ball of fire shot across the sky in Puerto Rico Friday afternoon, prompting local residents to speculate on what it was, and to wonder if it was a bad omen for the disaster-stricken island.
Images of the fireball were captured by a National Weather Service satellite at around 4:30 p.m. EST time Friday. Shortly after, people who spotted it began posting video and images to social media sites.
Many of the images were posted from the San Juan area, but people in other parts of Puerto Rico also reported seeing the meteor.
