A rare daytime fireball is spotted in Kansas and Oklahoma.

The fireball lasted just a few seconds on Monday afternoon but was seen by many people in both states. The American Meteor Society received 27 reports from people who saw the object flash briefly in the sky. The falling object was only visible for a few seconds but was witnessed by people in Chanute, Fort Scott, Ark City, and Claremore. At least three witnesses reported being able to hear the fireball as well. Fireballs are normally caused by meteors entering the Earth's atmosphere and burning up due to friction.

The Earth is currently in the middle of the Geminid Meteor shower which will peak on December 14.
