Green fireball caught on Ring camera sparks UFO theories
Apparently Ring cameras catch both potential home and alien invaders in the act.
Taking a break from busting trespassers, the popular doorbell security device has captured the moment a mysterious green fireball streaked across the night sky in Louisiana — sparking conspiracy theories that the object could’ve been extra terrestrial in origin.
“Ring doorbell camera footage captured the incredible view,” meteorological service AccuwWeather wrote alongside a Twitter video of the “Great Gatsby”-esque sighting, which occurred on July 14 at 4:30 a.m. in Gretna.
The American Meteorological Society is now investigating the latest eerie clip, according to Jam Press.
The clip captured via the ubiquitous security device starts off innocuously enough by showing a sleepy suburban street in the wee hours of the morning.
All of a sudden, a brilliant ball of emerald light seemingly flashes towards the street, illuminating the sky behind a house like something out of the “Harry Potter” books.

The fiery phenomenon was reportedly reported by numerous residents in neighboring areas, including Madisonville and Eunice.
According to AccuWeather, the “dazzling” phenomenon was actually a meteor, of which there were 29 sightings in 6 states of late.
However, conspiratorially-minded onlookers were not convinced with one local declaring, “That’s not what they say it is. That’s a landing.”

Another tinfoil hatter wrote, “That ain’t no meteor, that’s an alien ship warping into our space and time.”
“UFO must’ve stopped to get a poboy,” joked a third.
One skeptical observer added, “Can’t agree that it was a meteorite because I saw no fire, but it was the most beautiful and scariest thing I have ever seen in 58 years.”

In a similarly spooky sighting last month in Sin City, body-cam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captured a suspected UFO streaking across the night sky before a freaked out resident called in a report of something “100% not human” on their property, local CBS news outlet 8 News Now reported.
The police officer’s camera tracked the the object at about 11:50 p.m. on April 30, and its flash was also seen as far as Utah and California, according to the American Meteor Society.
Approximately 39 minutes after, another man — who lives about 80 miles from Area 51 — made a chilling call to 911, saying that there were two unknown entities in his backyard after he and his family saw a similar object fall from of the sky.
“There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us [sic] and it has big eyes and it’s looking at us — and it’s still there,” the homeowner told police dispatch, according to audio obtained by the CBS.
