A green fireball lit up the sky of Louisiana last week. The eerie sighting sparked speculations of alien invasion and other extraterrestrial conspiracy theories.

Green Fireball Sparks Conspiracy Theories

House invaders and potential alien intruders are captured on ring cameras. The widely used doorbell security system, taking a break from catching trespassers, was captured when a fascinating green fireball sped through the Louisiana night sky, raising rumors that the object might have been extraterrestrial in origin, New York Post reported.

AccuWeather shared the eerie sighting on Twitter. Gretna reportedly captured it. The American Meteorological Society has reported 29 sightings in six states.

A tranquil suburban street in the wee hours can be seen in the opening scene of the video clip that was recorded with the common security gadget. Then, unexpectedly, a magnificent ball of emerald light that looks like it is flashing towards the street illuminates the sky behind a house like it is straight out of the "Harry Potter" books.

Many locals, including those in the nearby communities of Eunice and Madisonville, also confirmed the fiery occurrence. The sighting received several reactions from netizens.

One said she was amazed by the color and how huge it was. Another user claimed that it was neither a meteor nor a conspiracy, insisting that the green fireballs have been seen worldwide and that the one that landed in Las Vegas was alien and more likely that the recent one was of the same case.

A third user claimed it was not a meteor but an "alien ship warping into our space and time," New York Post noted. A user joked that a UFO must have stopped to get a po'boy.

Another skeptical user said they couldn't agree it was a meteorite due to lack of fire. However, they found the sighting the "most beautiful and scariest thing" they have seen in 58 years.

Another Rare Green Fireball Sighting

In May, a green fireball was also spotted over Australia. It created a bright flash and was visible hundreds of miles away.

The incident was caught by cameras at Cairns Airport in Queensland on May 20 at 9:22 p.m. local time. It was an exploding meteor, also known as a bolide, per Space.com.

The flash may be seen in further video from smartphones, dashcams, and security cameras as far away as Normanton, which is around 370 miles (600 kilometers) west of Cairns, according to The Guardian. The town of Croydon, about 60 miles (100 km) east of Normanton, was where the explosion could be distinctly heard. It indicated that the meteor detonated somewhere in the sky.

According to Brad Tucker, an astronomer at Australian National University in Canberra, the space rock was most likely relatively small, measuring between 1.6 and 3.2 feet (0.5 and 1 meters) wide, and it may have been flying at up to 93,000 mph (150,000 km/h), he told The Guardian. He said that any debris that would have hit Earth would have been tiny and probably frozen.
