WATCH: Duluth Harbor Cam Captures Fireball Over Lake Superior While Ship Enters Harbor
Talk about out-of-this-world timing!
On Monday night (November 3) at around 11 pm, the bulk carrier Polsteam Pile made its way off Lake Superior under the Aerial Lift Bridge and into the Duluth Harbor. A small group of onlookers gathered to watch the ship, with one of the onlookers even waving at the crew aboard the ship.
Just seconds after the ship passed under the bridge, the onlookers started to depart, but they missed a second, spectacular piece to the show being put on for those looking eastward across Lake Superior.
While the onlookers turned their backs to Lake Superior, a brilliant green fireball burned across the horizon toward Lake Superior.

From the perspective of the Duluth Harbor Cam, the fireball streaked downward right between the two lighthouses at the ends of the piers in Canal Park. It grew in brilliance until flickering out right before reaching the horizon on Lake Superior.
The team managing the Duluth Harbor Cam YouTube channel shared a video of the Polesteam Pile making its journey into the harbor, followed up by the fireball.
While you don't see the fireball during the footage of the Pile's trip into the harbor, they did edit a clip into the footage to highlight what happened shortly after the ship entered the harbor.
Dan Hanger from FOX 21 TV shared a separate clip from the Duluth Harbor Cam that showed the fireball burning across the sky as the ship onlookers were blissfully unaware of the show they missed out on.
Pretty cool, huh?
This happened just a couple of days after a different green fireball was captured over Lake Superior. Dan Wolfe from Northern News Now shared a clip from one of the station's staff members that showed a green fireball over Lake Superior with Canal Park and the Aerial Lift Bridge in the foreground.
If you're wondering why there has been an uptick in fireballs in the sky lately, it's due to Earth passing through debris from Asteroid 2004 TTG10. Our planet passes through this debris field every few years, with some of those pieces of debris burning up in the atmosphere as they are pulled to Earth.
