Meteor streaks across Montana sky

Montana residents witnessed a blazing meteor lighting up the night sky on Tuesday

A bright meteor streaked across the Montana sky on Tuesday night, leaving a trail of light in its wake.

The American Meteor Society received dozens of reports of the meteor, which was visible across the state.

The meteor was first reported at 8:45 p.m. MST near the town of Big Timber.

Witnesses described the meteor as a bright, white light that moved quickly across the sky.

Some witnesses reported hearing a loud boom as the meteor passed overhead.

The meteor is believed to have been a small piece of space debris that entered the Earth's atmosphere and burned up.

The American Meteor Society is a non-profit organization that tracks and studies meteors and meteorites.

The society has a network of cameras that monitor the sky for meteors.

The society's data helps scientists track the movement of meteors and meteorites and learn more about their composition.

The meteor that streaked across the Montana sky on Tuesday night is a reminder that space is a dynamic and ever-changing place.

The meteor is also a reminder that the Earth is constantly being bombarded by space debris.

Most of this debris is harmless, but some pieces of space debris can be large enough to cause damage to the Earth's surface.

The American Meteor Society is working to track and study space debris and help prevent it from causing damage to the Earth.
