WATCH: N.J. Dashcam Captures Brilliant Nighttime Streak : The Two
Michael Virga
Hamilton Police Sgt.  Michael Virga  was on patrol around 3 a.m. when  he  saw  it . " It  was a pinpoint in the sky  then a bright lime green streak and then  it  disintegrated "  he  tells NPR.
 He  thought at first maybe  it  was a firework but was jolted enough to pull over and roll back the video. And sure enough  it  had recorded a clear view of the display. Virga said a later look at the website of the American Meteor Society  which tracks such sightings  confirmed that many others also saw the meteor.
Of his own experience   Virga  said it was a matter of simply "being in the right place at the right time." After the department posted the video to Facebook  he says  social media have been lighting up about it too.
"It's something different "  Virga  says.
