After striking bands of light streaked across the night sky Phoenix on Tuesday 14 November 2017, the witnesses immediately went to Twitter to speculate about aliens or about the "rational" explanation for this amazing phenomenon.

Strange bright flash appeared just a few days before the meteor shower "Leonids", which crosses the orbit of Earth in mid-November, so a huge fireball that was seen in the South-West of America is likely to be an ordinary meteor, and not an alien spaceship or a military test apparatus.

"The American meteorological society (AMS) received 85 reports from witnesses from Arizona and from California, Nevada, Utah and new Mexico," the AMS wrote on its website.

"Meteor shower Leonids active in November, and is expected to peak this week. However, it is unclear whether these outbreaks with this meteor shower," - said the publication "Arizona 12".

"3 hours ago in Phoenix saw what definitely looked like a plane crash. I'm not the only one who saw it, but I can't find any explanation for this, except the version with the UFO" - wrote in his tweet Tim Sylvester.

Starfall Leonids got their name from the constellation Leo. This is one of the most beautiful and vibrant meteor showers, which, according to NASA, it is best to observe the "lying on your back and turning your legs to the East."

In comments to the video us Internet users said they had witnessed similar outbreaks in Michigan, but most of the audience reacted to the movie with humor.

"You can say whatever you want, but it is one hundred percent a UFO. Zoom in and you will see the outlines of Windows," wrote one commentator Patrick DiNapoli.
