Screengrab of the video which captures bright lit in the night sky.
The night sky of New Jersey was suddenly lit up early morning on Wednesday (April 10) after a massive fireball passed in the sky.
This is the third and most bizarre natural phenomenon to havebeen observed in the United States this week, after a rare earthquake and total solar eclipse.
It was reported that the sudden streak of light may have resulted from a meteor falling towards Earth somewhere in New Jersey's Garden State and surrounding area.
The luminous and brilliant spectacle was reported to the American Meteor Society by the residents in various New Jersey towns, along with some parts of Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania.
A security camera video was shared by Linda Price Heines on Facebook from her home in Wall Township, New Jersey. In the video, a flash fly was seen across the sky in just a couple of seconds at 3:43 am.

People say something'bright green' fell from the sky
The AMS website, which permits people to self-report their experiences, showed that various sightings were reported by people from the same region in the same time frame.
One man, identified as Darren T, said that he witnessed the bright light in Hackettstown in Warren County, nearly 50 miles west of New York City.
“This was the first time I ever saw this in my area,” said the man, in his report. “I have seen shooting stars but this was the first time I observed this," he added.
Meanwhile, Christina V, a resident of New Jersey, said that she had got outaround 3:40 am when she saw the streak of light in the sky.
“I saw a bright green almost neon in colour falling from the sky. There weren’t any long trails or anything but it did fall and disappear,” Christina V wrote.
"I was watching it through a window so that might’ve affected my vision but I was just left there stunned. I rushed to tell my boyfriend what I saw and instantly went online to check if it was normal," she said.
Dawn B, a resident of Mount Kisco in Westchester County, said that it was "incredible".“Kind of surreal,” she added.
