Meteor lights up Canada's skies

Footage of a large meteor streaking across western Canada has been broadcast on Canadian television.

The video filmed from a local police car on patrol, showed a small light turning into a massive and blindingly bright fireball as it fell from the sky and appeared to hit the Earth in the distance.

Scientists are now searching for its remains.
