One sceptic said: “Same month as the aurora borealis. Why are all these once in a lifetime events happening so close to each other? Makes you wonder if the solar eclipse was a warning.”

“Legit!!! A once in a lifetime sight,” another social media user commented.

Another joked: “That’s no meteor, that’s Optimus Prime.”
