Witnesses in a remote part of Western Australia is captured in the frame stunning green fireball flying through the night sky.

Astronomers believe that it was the asteroid 2002 NN-4, which was supposed to pass by Earth at about 23:20 on Sunday.

It may look small, but this asteroid is estimated to be six football fields.

Despite the fact that NASA says that the asteroid is well visible, it was at a distance of more than 3 million miles from our planet, 13 times farther than the moon, so there is no risk of it hitting the Ground.
