A driver’s dashcam caught the stunning moment a meteor passed over northern Texas on Sunday night.

The motorist was driving along I-820 over the Lake Worth bridge in west Fort Worth when they noticed a 'bright streak in the sky'. 

Sharing the footage online, they said: 'At first, I thought it was just an aircraft, until I noticed it leaving a light streak and a much brighter light towards the end.'

The 'streak of light' in question was spotted across Texas, as well as Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, with 303 reports to the American Meteor Society. 

NASA told NBC: 'The fireball was at least as bright as a quarter Moon, which translates to something bigger than six inches in diameter with a weight of 10 pounds.'
