Residents across Victoria were treated to a spectacular cosmic display last night when a meteor blazed across the sky, lighting it up like a scene from a blockbuster movie.

Captured on CCTV and dashcams, the fiery streak cut through the darkness, drawing gasps from onlookers and flooding social media with awe-filled footage. While the meteor burned up harmlessly in the atmosphere, it gave locals a rare and unforgettable glimpse at nature’s own fireworks — and perhaps a few superhero daydreams.
