WATCH: Fireball Streaks Across New Jersey Sky

NEW JERSEY — The Northeast was saying goodness gracious on Sunday, with reports pouring in to the American Meteor Society after a fireball was caught streaking across the sky.

According to the AMS, over 280 reports of the fireball were filed, mainly from Connecticut and New York, but from a total of 12 states, including New Jersey.

Though they're still investigating, the AMS said the preliminary trajectory of the fireball shows it was moving from east to west, with its visible flight ending somewhere near Poughkeepsie, New York.

Dashcam video from New Jersey shows the clearest image of the fireball, which was shared by the AMS from the Twitter account @Lakewoodscoop.

According to the AMS, several thousand meteors of "fireball magnitude" happen each day in the Earth's atmosphere.

So why don't we see more of them?

The AMS says most of these instances happen over the world's oceans, or in uninhabited regions of the world. Additionally, many of these instances happen under the cover of daylight.
