I've seen shooting stars before, but nothing like this.

A dash cam on a Portland PD cruiser captured the moment shortly before 1am. The event was also reported by the Mount Washington Observatory, and was reportedly seen from Canada down to New Jersey.

The Portland Police Department playfully described the action on their facebook page.

You never know what you are going to see on duty. Sgt. Farris was looking for speeder's while parked in front of the central fire station and was able to observe some visitors "from away"....far away. The meteor (or alien spaceship) was caught on camera at approximately 0050 hours. Let's hope the visitors are friendly. They could just be some of Stephen King's friends on there way to visit him. Whom ever they are I'm sure we could win them over with a whoopie pie.

P.S.
The voice on the video stating, "oh my God"! is from Ofc. Hults. Apparently he was amazed. #meteor#starwars#underthedome

The War of the Worlds could be stopped with a whoopie pie? Honestly, that checks out. Move along people, nothing to see here!

Portsmouth Harbor Webcam also caught the meteor as it flew over some tugboats. It is a sight to see.
