A Meteoroid fireball, which gave off a neon-green hue as it hurtled through the atmosphere, lit up the sky upon impact and startled citizens.

The hunt is on for pieces of a meteor that crashed near Cairns, Australia.

This incredible astronomical event was captured by a security camera at Cairns Airport, with the footage subsequently going viral.

“We witnessed some pretty incredible activity across our skies last night,” the airport wrote on Facebook beneath the breathtaking clip.

The rock is believed to have landed near the small town of Croydon, around 250 miles from Cairns.
