Witnesses quickly took to social media, sharing videos and photos of what many described as a \u201conce-in-a-lifetime\u201d spectacle. The flash was visible for only a few seconds but was reportedly bright enough to outshine city lights, leaving residents wondering whether it was a meteor shower, space debris, or something else entirely.According to some reports, the phenomenon was most likely a bolide \u2014 a type of meteor that bursts into fragments after entering the Earth\u2019s atmosphere due to intense friction and heat.<\/p>\n<p>Poll<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever witnessed a similar sky phenomenon before?<\/p>\n<p>The American Meteor Society noted that while September is an active period for smaller meteor showers, isolated fireball-like meteors can appear outside of predicted showers.For many residents, the event was fleeting but unforgettable. \u201cIt lasted only seconds. I\u2019ve never seen anything like it,\u201d said a skywatcher in South Delhi.While the exact origin of Saturday\u2019s fiery streaks remains uncertain, astronomers say events like this, whether meteors or reentering space debris, are not uncommon \u2014 but their sudden appearance over a major city always sparks curiosity and wonder.According to reports, in Aligarh, locals also witnessed the fiery streak.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW DELHI: Residents across Delhi and nearby cities in the national capital region (NCR) were left puzzled early&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":438668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3844],"tags":[148556,148553,148554,84541,66531,84542,84543,148551,148552,148557,148555,70,143282,413,9296,84544,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-438667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-space","8":"tag-astronomy-events","9":"tag-bolide-meteor","10":"tag-bright-streaks-in-sky","11":"tag-delhi-latest-news","12":"tag-delhi-news","13":"tag-delhi-news-live","14":"tag-delhi-news-today","15":"tag-delhi-sky-phenomenon","16":"tag-fireball-meteor","17":"tag-ncr-skywatching","18":"tag-residents-sightings-delhi","19":"tag-science","20":"tag-september-meteor-shower","21":"tag-space","22":"tag-space-debris","23":"tag-today-news-delhi","24":"tag-uk","25":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115236970495097255","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=438667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/438667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/438668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=438667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=438667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=438667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
