Huge shooting star falls to earth in Thailand

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, that huge flash in the sky is just a shooting star hurtling straight towards earth.

Vision of the incredible ball of light was captured on dash-cam in the Thai capital of Bangkok early this morning.

The motorist who captured the remarkable footage was driving on Ngamwongwan road outbound to Nonthaburi when he spotted a bright bust streaming across the clear blue sky.

The meteorite then crashed into the ground leaving a tail of white smoke behind.
