Thais were left stunned on Monday after a suspected meteor streaked through the daytime skies in a phenomena that also quickly lit up social media.
Footage from one Bangkok dashboard car camera captured a fireball followed by a brilliant white flash, that was also seen across the country.
“It was the middle of a blue sky day and there was a quick, bright light coming down,” said Porjai Jaturongkhakun whose dashcam recorded the scene as he drove to work.
“I usually see shooting stars at night but I have never seen one in the day before,” the 30-year-old satellite engineer said.
Porjai was one of a number of Thais who managed to capture the dramatic incident on their car dashboard cameras — with such footage going viral on social media.
